The history of the fountain pen is very Iike that .of the telephone,
the telegraph, the radio and a host of other piesent-day coaveniencws.
%fly years ago no one thought a aatisfaaory fountain -pen would •
ever be an accomplished fact. Scores of pens had been invented,
but not one of them would write properly. They only worked at
times; the ink flow could not be controlled. "
But in 1853 came Waternian's Ideal ---the perfect pen—one that,
would always wock properly, one that would not kale, cue that
would meet t1te' u1lw requirements of every nsan's band.
From a beginning of 200 pens in a Year---rnadle by hand—Water-
mart's has = developed into * great industry. To -day there are
millions of Waterm n's Idents in eegvke in all poorts of the world.
