PRICES "51"

To protect purchasers-and to Insure the maintenance of these prices we are doing, two important things. First, we are taking every precaution to keep our pens out of the hands of unscrupulous dealers who mayank above normal prices. Second, our local distributors, Dodge & Seymour, have re- cently made a firm and legal agreement with the dealers whose names appear below..

By the terms of the ogree. the ment, these dealers are

of aolo authorized retailera Parker "51" Pens in the Hongkong area. They must and will sell Parker. "51" Pena at the fair and official retail prices mentioned above; They will not-under any cir- cumstances--offer thess, "51" pena at higher prices.

True, because of the great demand, these dealers may not always have Parker "51'" on hand. For, as survoy after survey shows, the "51" exceeds in preference-all other makes of pens combined. It is the world's most-wanted pon.

But when Parker "51's" are available at these dealers' will be able to stores, you purchase them at fair and official prices.

We are determined that re one, shall be required to pay black market prices for Parker "01".
