"Frauds in Fountain Pens! ' ' ' Fountain pen fakers usually open a small store, and placard the window with flaring placards telling all about the "manufacturers' samples" of gold fountain pens they are selling at 7/6 or thereabouts. These . fountain pens, the card say, are really worth from 15/6 to £2, but on account of a special purchase, etc., are being sold at the low price of 7/6. j Ji; ..,,„„, , A display of gaudily decorated pens in plush boxes • j is usually shown in connection with the placard. Of ■ course, the pens are not manufacturers' samples, nor ; r are they high-grade pens sold at bargain prices. In fact, j rto manufacturer's name appears on them for obvious „ 1 reasons. They are. a thinly-washed imitation of the real article, and, of course, they are soon out of service. The faker, after a prosperous business for a month I I or two, vanishes, and when the buyer of such a pen I ■ wants ifc repaired, he. is surprised to learn that it will Cost him more than it would to have purchased a really ''" . worth-while article in the first place. The faker does ' , '.'' not repair his goods. "." l> ' ' . These fakers do distinct harm to the fountain pen "'• >J " industry, as many buyers aft«r trying a " fountain M pen of that type, never try andther. They never really learn , the merit of a good fountain pen. ''"".". i- , There is no objection to the sale of cheap fountain .;„.... .-. v ■ pens when the buyer iS'tbld just what he is buying— \^'; .- > that is fair. But when hd is misled into believing, he is buying a high priced fountain pen for about 7/6, it is fraud pure and simple. And every effort should be ,madd to squelch vendors of 'this ty^e?'* ' ' ' *""" , " ""' Don't be misled ! Buy a pen that sells on its name— : the"Swan"orthe"Onoto"! !
