If we told you that The Parker Pen Company was started with only a thousand dollars and became the world’s largest manufacturer of FountainPens, (and this is indeed the case), you could not escape these five convictions:
- Its products must be superior.
- Its policies must be sound, vet liberal.
- Its management must be able and progressive.
- Its retailers must be satisfied and prosperous.
- It must be a good business with which to associate your own business,—a good name with which to associate your own name,
Now add one more factor—one that means as much, perhaps, as all the others combined—and you can purchase Parker Pens and Sets with utter confidence in their fine performance and ready salability at all times. That factor is this:
Vote after vote and pen census after pen census among thousands of pen users over widely separated areas prove that the Parker Pen is the Public’s No. 1 Choice!
As you look through this Catalog you will see why this is true.
