The Lifetime Pen has

become a World classic
A magnificent leadership in the pen field has come to the Lifetime because of its absolute merit. It was the first pen of colourful beauty, first in supreme mechanical nicery, first in high dependability. Its Iridium nib easily makes clear duplicate copies of your personal letters and memoranda. Instant re- sponse to lightest touch makes it the ideal pen for modem handwriting systems. And its noncorrosive alloys, costly gold and brilliant radite, build it to endure for a lifetime, guaranteed free of all repair charges. Ask any Sheaffer dealer to show you how the Lifetime pen is constructed.
