Parker’s personal experience in the fountain pen business, a modern plant with the most up to- date and efficient machinery obtainable, and a fine organization of skilled workmen imbued with one idea-to make the finest writing instruments in the world.
World’s Largest Selling Pen.
Parker products have served the world for over 35 years, and have been constantly improved with new materials, new methods, new inventions. Today Parker Duofold Pens have reached such a state of perfection, we guarantee them for life.
The desk sets come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and materials and are the only ones offering instant convertibility-pocket to desk set.
Select the Proper Point.
Nothing is more personal than a fountain pen. Nothing gives the user greater satisfaction than a properly selected point in a thoroughly reliable pen. On the other hand, nothing gives more distress and annoyance than a point not fitted to the user’s hand, or a pen which does not work due either to carelessness or misuse.
There are six Parker points you can choose from Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Stub and Oblique.
For close figure work, or fine memoranda, for general correspondence, for the individual who holds his pen edgewise, @r for the one who slants his pen noticeably to the right or left, PARKER makes the proper point.
