Waterman s Ideal Fountain Pen

_y ^ w w v#i-

'The Use of tke Fountain Pen

VKRYBODV WRITKS, and almost
everybody should use a fountain pen,
I he day of fountain pen jibes and
jokes has passed. €.Novv-a-days one
is lost without a fountain pen. it coin-
bines pen and ink so perfectly at all
times, and there are so many places

, , where !t 'S indispensable, that it is no

louder a luxury, but a necessity C.More than half of
those who do not use a fountain pen have never tried
VV aterman s Ideal Fountain Fen. It is not only expected
vo but is guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction, and the
nn lions who use it are living evidence of the fact that
it iloes give perfect service.

€1, Probably there is no article that serves more varied
requirements, and the needs of the individual users
.'inter greatly. Almost everybody writes differently
i-.icri has some preference in the selection of a pen'
I his we recognize.

For Special Writers

€lF«»r the man who wishes a Stub, we have a Stub pen-
; l :lk '"" for the man who likes a balcon; for Mani-
■»l< ">ir wc make a stiff pen that wntes like a pencil, bur
makes a better copy; for stenographers we have special
points (and much of our success has been due to our
»»'f'ty to satisfy Stenographers); f-r Hook keepers we have
pens that make fine lines and deposit little ink.so that blot-'
i»g paper ,s unnecessary. C. Waterman's ideal Fountain
tns are made m all sizes. As the pen increases in size
the barren increases m capacity and the whole increases

Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen [ Page Five ]

Tke V arious Styles

*J 'The plate of pens shown on page 7 illustrates the
relative sizes from the smallest to the largest. If is the
key plate to the pen styles shown further on. Almost
everyone of the different styles pictured is made in all
of (lie sizes illustrated on this pane. The unit figures
in the numbers at the hoi lorn of the following pages
will indicate the relative sizes of the different priced
fountain pens.

Tke S poon Feed

% The Spoon Feed is, and has been since its incep-
tion by us, the only one of its kind on the market.
It is Hat and broad. Almost every fountain pen has
a flat, broad feed. There is no virtue, however, in
mere width of rubber. The merit of the Spoon
Feed lies in the semi-circular pockets cut into the
side, which are not visible ordinarily, and which
hold any overflow of ink caused by air pressure or
otherwise. This is the feature that is patented.
This is the Spoon Feed.
*J It eliminates the Hooding so common to all ordinary
fountain pens. It makes it a safe pen for bookkeeper:-,
and other careful writers.

*J No other feed will give such a perfectly uniform
How of ink ; no other pen gives always enough and
never too much. It is perfection. Beyond it there
is nothing to attain.

I

nutations

ij The unparalleled success of Waterman's Ideal
Fountain Pen, which lias been the standard for upwards
of twenty-five years and which has always kept pace wd.li
changing conditions, has encouraged a horde of imita-
tors, some of them sufficiently unscrupulous to couple
the very name of our product with an inferior article,

[ Page Six ]

ArVaterman s Ideal Fountain Pen

and taking advantage in that way of the reputation that
has been built up by us the past quarter century.

CThe purchaser who would be sure, therefore, should
see to it that his pen is Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen.
1 he word Ideal" identifies the genuine, and will be
inuiul stamped in a world on every pen. Look for the
word in the world. It identities the world's best writ-
mg instrument.

Guarantee

CLhvery Waterman's Ideal Fountain Fen is unreservedly
guaranteed wherever sold. Fen points may be exchanged
as often as necessary in order to lit the hand, or the full
purchase price will be refunded within thirty days if the
pen is not entirely satisfactory.

€[11 your local dealer has not a sufficiently large stock
to exactly fit your requirements, at our stores, located
in New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Mont-
real and London, you can exchange your pen for one
which exactly suits your taste.

€[We aim to give, and if you help us will give, entire
satisfaction. We ask you not to keep a pen unless
entirely suited as to pen action, then that you carry it
right side up, use good ink and keep the pen clean.

ClJ )o this and satisfaction is certain.

A mo5t exceptional Konor was paid Mr. L. E. Waterman,
inventor of Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen, when in 1893
:i diploma of Honorable Mention was conferred upon Kim
BY ACT OF THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES

OF AMERICA.

ing reminder of the giver.

Ideal Caps and Tkeir Styles

Some Important Points

Cone Caps

C/There is never any difficulty about replacing a Cap
of the Cone variety. In oases of this kind all that is
necessary is to see the number which is stamped on the
butt-end of the holder, and a specification of this num-
ber together with a statement as to what finish of cap
is desired, whether Plain, Chased or Mottled, will re-
sult in your securing a cap to fit.

Cjn order to replace either a Taper or a Straight Cap,
fitting the holder against a shoulder of any kind, it is nec-
essary that the cap should be actually fitted, because there
is always some light variation in size, depending on the
length of time the pen has been in use, and in order
to secure a perfect fitting cap, the holder should be sent
in for adjustment. In such cases pens are generally
overhauled without charge.

Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen [ Page Tw«nty-tW j

Cap Prices

I, By comparing the number on the butt-end of the

holder with the list shown below, the price of any cap
is ascertained.

Waterman' s
Ideal Pump -Filling Pen

Absolutely Durable — Lar£e Ink Capacity

The words "Waterman's Ideal," when connected
with a fountain pen, always insure simplicity, reliability
and durability. The history of the Waterman Ideal
I'ountain Pen industry shows no unsuccessful attempts in
the manufacture of fountain pens. Until
the value of an innovation has been proven
beyond question, the "Waterman Ideal"
trade mark has never been linked with it.
CjThe pump-filling pen bears the words
Waterman's Ideal," therefore it is
reliable, satisfactory and durable. There
are no complicated parts. There is no
soft rubber used in its manufacture, to be
affected by acids in the ink.
C'Fhe Pump-Filling Pen dispenses with
the ink filler. It is filled as shown in the
illustration by pumping the ink into the
pen. The pump maybe used for cleaning
as well as for filling. C/Fhe pump-filling
pen is provided with the following features
found only in Waterman's Ideal Fountain

Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen

[Page Thirty-one]

H o w Long Will It Write?

GREAT many people, many of whom have
used a fountain pen before, and some who
have not, are anxious to know how much ink
a fountain pen will hold and how long it will
write; and while it is practically impossible to tell this
definitely, because of the variation in pen points, an ap-
proximate idea can be given, as indicated by the figures
shown on the last three columns below.

These figures are, however/governed entirely by the
fineness of the pen and the individual handwriting. A
drop of ink may write one hundred words and it may
write five hundred words, so that there is a wide margin
for deviation. These calculations are based on an average
of one hundred and fifty words to a page of note paper,
which is fair for the ordinary writer.
