WOOD’S PENOGRAPH!

WOOD’S PENOGRAPH consists of a first-class Diamond-Pointed Fourteen-Carat gold pen, and the onlyfountain holder ever constructed which is unconditionally warrantedto give satisfaction. It needs no wiping and no dipping for ink, andit is carried in the pocket always ready for use on any kind of paper.The Penograph is totally unlike the McKennon, Livermore, T. Cross,and other Stylographic so-called pens, which have a rigid pointincapable of making shaded lines. Hitherto a really desirable two-nibbedgold pen and fountain holder has been an expensive luxury in whichcomparatively few could indulge. The retail price of this Penograph is$3. It is warranted to be the par excellence of all fountainpens, and we place it within easy reach of every one by the followingliberal offer:

Every Subscriber to Golden Days forOne Year can have this valuable Fountain Pen sent to them postpaid byadding to the subscription price one dollar—in other words, sendus $4.00, and we will send postpaid Wood’s Penograph and Golden Days for one year. In this way youwill be getting the Penograph for one dollar, or one year’ssubscription to Golden Days for onedollar, just as you please to look at it. Either way you get a bargain.The money must be sent direct to this office.
