"Frauds in Fountain Pens! Fountain pen fakers usually open a small store, and , placard the window with flaring placards telling all ' ' - aboiit 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 12/6 to £2, but on account of a special purchase, etc., 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, nor are they high-grade pens sold at bargain prices. In fact, no manufacturer's name appears on them for obvious i reasons. They are a thinly-washed imitation of the ' % : .•■ |»eal article, and, of course, they are soon out of service. Xhe faker, after a prosperous business fop a month I.1 ' . ar two, vanishes, rind when the buyer of such a pen , wa,nts it repaired, he Is surprised to learn that it will 1 '• ' ' ' 'cost him mbr'e than'it would to have purchased a really • . worth-while article in, the first place.
