The name of the well is the ECLIPSE. Nothing to get out of order. No valves, no floats. The ink from the res- ervoir falls into a small cup at the base, which provides just enough ink to cover the pen. NOT THE HOLDER. The ink :annot splash. Air and dust cannot reach the ink, therefore the ink never becomes gummy or sticky. The last drop is as good as the first. It is made entirely of glass. Needs fill- ing but once in six months and saves 75 per cent of your ink bill. Sells for $1.00 and $1.26. WHAT! Don’t believe it? Come and see.
