Description
Full color 9″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Scripto “8” Fountain Pen. The headline calls this “The Only Fountain Pen with Ink Reserve” and claims that “No Fountain Pen is Modern without an INK RESERVE”. There is a giant-size illustration of one of these pens with the price of only $1.00 prominently displayed. There is also a schematic that shows “Here’s How It Works” and a smaller picture of a Pen and Pencil set that is sold, gift boxed too, for $1.98. The ad warns you to “Never again be caught with an empty pen”.
