"SWAN" Pen is more than a con- venience for busy writers; it is a necessity. It is the pen which never needs coaxing, for its reliable feed ensures a steady flow of ink the instant the nib touches the paper. Never a scratch, blot or awkward break in the middle of a word; just a smooth, easy glide—that's what the "Swan" Fen means to YOU.
