Endorsement That No One Could Buy

Given to the Parker Duofold by Anthony Fokher, Famous Monoplane Designer Road what he says about this famous writing instrument

When Anthony Fokker, designer of monoplanes used in record-breaking nights to the North Pole, France and Hawail, endorses the Parker Duofold, ho speaks with authority.

"Any engineer," he says, "appreciates a preci- alon Instrument. That's why I use a Parker Pen."** To him, precision in a pen means immediats writing at the touch of point to papor. It means the famous praetureless touch, which makes the Parker Duofold thu enslust-writing instrument the. world has over soon.

It means continuus perfect writing-a pon that clears the track for thinking, with no poriy Inter- ruptions,

if you want to know why Fokker endorses Parker Peus, try cmo at your dealer'a.

But don't be misled by eclor. That may be. imitated, Tie pen that writes, differently. Fokker's favorite "procision pon"-is stamped "Geo. S., Parker"' on the barrel.
