As a warning to oup customers, we publish herewith the following extract from the American Inland Stationer for October, 1012, as some day fakers of the type mentioned in the article may exploit Australasia. "Frauds in Fountain P^S^j; fountain pen fakers usually open a small store, and' ■ plaaard the window with flaring placards telling all '« -' about the "manufacturers' samples" of gold fountain „■ ' pens they are selling at 7/6 or thereabouts. These 1 • t fountain pens, the card say, are really worth from 12/6 to £2, but on account of a special purchase, eta., are '. * being sold at the low price of 7/6, A display of gaudily decorated pens in plush boxes is usually shown in connection with the placard. Of ■ • course, the pens are not manufacturers' samples, nop / < gre they high-grade«pens sold at bargain prices. In fact, no manufacturer's name appears on them for obvious „ ' .. ' , reasons. They are a thinly-washed imitation of the / ' „ \ tfeal article, and, of course, they are soon out of service. „ \; The faker, after a prosperous business for a month '„; . ' ©P two, vanishes, and, when the buyer of such a pen wants 'it repaired, he is surprised to learn that it will «V ' » • / cost him more than it t/vould to have purchased a really :*- v Vr ■ worth-while article in the first place. The faker does . '.*,. "• ' not repair his goods. These fakers do distinct harm to the fountain pen industry, as many buyers after trying a "fountain " pen oftrlat'type, never try another. They never really learn 1 the merit of a' good fountain pen. There is no objection to the sale of cheap fountain pens when the buyer is told just what he is buying— *' ' that is fair. But when he is misled into believing he is ; v 'i ■ buying a high priced fountain pen for, about 7/6, it is ■ . l fraud pure and simple. And every effort should ba *' / • made to squelch vendors of this type." ■'■ ".
