hospital, this week. At left is Mrs. G.C. White, convener of the

earlier this year. At right is Mrs. Ronald McCallum, president of
the auxiliary, with a cheque for several pieces of equipment
purchased by the auxiliary for the hospital this year, including a
food processor for the kitchen, a refrigerator for the lab, a
refrigerator for second floor west, metric scales and a nerve
stimulator for physical therapy. The women are standing with
Mr. Cass in front of the newly expanded gift shop located in the
hospital waiting room. Profit from the shop goes into the
auxiliary's general fund which in turn helps pay for hospital
equipment. (Photo by Joanne Buchanan)
The pen makes the man...
• from page 1 A
development in writing is
the rolling ball pen. This
pen has the design and
convenience of a
ballpoint in that there is a
stainless steel ball in a
plastic socket but in place
of the heavy oil based ink
used in ballpoints, it uses
the lighter liquid ink used
in fountain pens.
Using a rolling ball pen
after using just an or-
dinary pen is like "flying
over walking", says Mr.
Gardner.
Sheaffer also designs
and manufactures
mechanical pencils which
Mr. Gardner ' says are
still very_ popular,
especially with ac-
countants, because lead
can.te erased.
Sheaffer was one of the
first pen companies to
manufacture desk sets -
that is fountain pens in
holders mounted on
pieces of imported
marble. Today ,the
company is the leader .in
desk set sales in Canada.'
Precision -made writing
instruments of any sort
can cradle themselves in
your hand in a very nice
way. You can pick your
own nib, metal, width and
type of pen best suited to
your writing. Basic
designs really haven't
changed all that
drastically over the.
years, says Mr. Gardner.
In the lobby of the
Sheaffer Pen plant in
Goderich, there is a
display of Sheaffer pens
dating back to the first
designs up to present day
ones. About every five
years, the pens go from
thin to fat and from flat
topped to bullet shaped,
depending on the public
demand. The most
popular pens today seem
to be thin and flat.
Intricate machinery is
used to produce intricate
designs on ....the metal
shells of Sheaffer pens,
designs like barley corn
and, diamond, squares.
Custom decorating is also
a fast growing area of
Sheaffer's business. That
•
involves inscribing and
personalizing pens with
individual company logos
and sales pitches.
Sheaffer's newest line
of pens go by the um-
brella name of Targa,
taken from a car race in
Sicily in which only the
most expensive, durable,
reliable and fastest race
cars in the world are
respresented. A Targa
set' inludes the four
writing ,systems --a
convertible fountain pen
(with cartridges), a
ballpoint, a rolling ball
and a pencil.
Sheaffer makes only
refillable products which
have the white dot mark
of distinction. For as little
as $1.69, says Mr: Gar-
dner, a person can know
the prestige of carrying a
Sheaffer pen.
But for those of you who
wish to spend a little
more --for that 1 status
symbol or image -making
type of pen --you'll have to
be careful. As Young puts
it in her article on pens:
"For, the new owner of a
fine pen, one who has
previously slummed
through life with a series
of disposable cheapies, a
constant worry is how to
remember his new
.acquisition and not leave
it lying around. Owners of
expensive pens learn_ to
treat them like their car
keys, glasses and
wallet.".
It's just as well to treat
them like this if you've
made an expensive in-
vestment in a top-of-the-
line writing instrument.
A few years ago Sheaffer
had an 18 karate gold
masterpiece fountain pen
in stock which retailed
for about $750. With the
price of gold today, that
pen, made in England,
could retail at well over
$1,000.
Now that's the type of
pen you might use to sign
an Middle East Peace
Treaty!
