Certainly you will then agroe that there is no other fountain pen which am give so much pleasure and enjoy. ment this holiday season to your friends, to members of your family, and to yourself!

Because there are roany tasks of varying nature which overy pen polat is called upon to perform, Parker has de signed the "miracle" point ----two points in one! On the under side you write your usual fine or medium or broad kund; on the upper, hairline or extra fine.

Parker commissioned a famous artist to design a pen wholly new in spirit, and wholly unlike any other you have ever seen. The laminated barrel, ring upon ring of lumi- mous pearl and fet ---- non-breakable, Icak-proof —— is ex- clusive with Parker, and fully patented. A pen you will be pread to own---- and prouder still to bestow as a gift. If you are searching for the perfect writing gift, this season, search no longer. Give a Parker Vacumatic Filler, and you give a new gifi, an unusual gift, a distinguished gift and one which will afford many years of enjoyment and satisfaction to the happy recipient, ...
