THE SWAN PEN VELLUM THE NEW PAPER FOR USE WITH FOUNT PENS.
SWAN PEN VELLUM is no ordinary paper under a new name; it is specially milled and surfaced to give a smoothness for writing without conscious effort, yet has that character of surface to avoid a slippery feeling. It takes the ink from the fold nib but does not have a trace of sponginess. It handles as a quality paper should, and folds without cracking. It has been tested and approved by Fountain Pen experts who are in close touch with the needs of the writing public.
