(0 Carry it in the pocket with the pen-point */. (a) L.ay it down with the pen-point raised an inch or n.ore, {3) Handle it in removing or replacing the cap with the pen-point up. {4) To fill it— Unscrew at the knurl, O. and use the glass dropper to fill the barrel nearly full with any food ink, from a corked Mi/e. Wipe the end of the arrel before closing, (5) T© Clean it— Unscrew the point section, C.and let water run through it with the pen-point down ; or the rubber bulb can be token from the glass filler, put over the screw threads, and used to force the water out and in, through the feed-bar, until the water comes out clean. The barrel can be filled with water and shaken out repeatedly until it is clean. (6> Ink— The fluid inks are best. Avoid eummr and muddy inks. We use and sell Stafford's "Commercial" ink for general use, and his " Blue Black Office " ink for copying. (7) When the pen is first taken up, the warmth of the hand may expand the air in the holder and expel some extra Ink into the bowl of the pen. Overflowing from this cause, when the pen is laid down and taken up frequently, will be prevented by keeping the pen tilled with ink. (8) Heed the warning which the pen gives bv writ- ing more freely as it becomes nearly empty, and fill it ; then you will not be caught with an empty pen. (9) The flow of ink is automatic in response to the act of writing, and it will be free and uniform after the feed bar has been wet with ink a few days. The flow can be increased or decreased by us (without charge) when the pen is returned with an explanation of what is desired. Although the removal of the pen and the adjustment of the feed bar are simple to us, we advise our customers never to undertake either. do) Send the pen and holder complete for the correc tion of any fault (with your name on the package and ia cents for registration fee and postage) to The Weal Pen Co., No. 155 Brodwajr, New ¥ork. u e.

Removal. The Ideal Pen Co. has removed to No. 155 ISroadway (ground floor), where we shall be glad to see all our old customers and their friends, for we recognize that a large proportion of our new customers are persons to whom our Pen has been recommended by those who use it. The merit of the Pen, as the best in the market, must be the cause of this, as well as of the fact that more "Ideal" Pens have been sold in its first year than of any other Fountain Pen during the same time. Hut with all its success there must be some Pens that are not satisfactory, and we earnestly desire that all such pens be brought, or sent to us, with an explanation of the trouble, and we will cheerfully remove the difficulty without charge, if the fault is ours, or we will refund the money. We also thank our friends for their numerous invitations to call upon those who wish to see our Pen, and who are not able to visit our office, and we are prepared to give prompt attention to all such requests hereafter. Enclosed please find a copy of our new directions. Again expressing our thanks for past favors, we hope by making our Pens and Holders of the best quality, as well as on the best principles, to continue to merit and receive further patronage. Yours truly. The Ideal Pen Co. Maimer,
