HE "Swan" is a Mabic, Todd & Co. Gold Pen joined to a robber reservoir to hold any kind of ink, which it supplies to the writing point fa's continuous flow. It will hold ink enough for two days' constant work, or a week's ordinary writing, and can be filled with as little trouble
as to wind a watch,
+
With the cover over the gold nib it is carried in the pocket like a pencil, to be used anywhere. A parchaser may try a pen a few days, and, if by chance the writing point does not suit his hand, exchange it for another without charge.

THERE ARE VARIOUS POINTS TO SELECT FROM, BROAD:-MEDIUM AND WIRE."- The Gold Pens in the Swans are Mabie, Todd & Co.'s famous make. They are dicárat tempered gold, very handsome, and positively unaffected by any kind of ink. They ate pointed with selected polished iridium
They will not penetrate the paper, and writer's cramp is unknown among users of Gold Pens. They are a perfect revelation to those who know nothing about Gold Pens,
