Remember this when you_hear of $9 and $10 pens that claim to be as durable as Parker Duofold at $5 and $7. Question how well they write. For this Parker Duofold point is not only guaranteed for 25 years’ wear, and good for fifty, but gives you the writing excellence, the speed, ease andcharacterof asuper- smooth flexible pen. It is tempered to yield to any style of writing yet retain its original shape forever. That is why Parker Duofold is the costliest of points to make. If durability alone were all we sought to give you we could reduce our cost on points nearly 50%. But because Parker Duofold is as wonderful a pen to write with as it is to wear, sales in the past four years alone have increased 435%. No pen in the world, regard- less of price, enjoys such sales or is held in such esteem. ‘Write with Parker Duofold alongside other pens at the first pen counter you come to. Thenyou'll see the difference. Parher Duofold Pencils to match the Pens: Lady Ducfold, $3; Over-sige 1., $3.50;"Big Brother" Over-sige, $4 RIVALS slon.
