TO MATCH THE
fkdt
The distinctive gift of the year is the
new Wahl Pen.
Distinctive, because its entire barrel
is made of light, age-enduring geld or
silver. It cannot crack, break or ex
pand from body heat. It holds mere
ink than the old-fashioned thick and
brittle hard-rubber barrel pens. It
cannot leak.
Distinctive, because you can get
Wahl Pens te match the engraved
designs en the Eversharps you gave
last Christmas. There are 90 styles of
Wahl Pens. Every one who has an
Eversharp wants a Wahl Pen; de
pend en this absolutely.
Loek ever your gift list, and give a
Wahl Pen te every one who has an
Eversharp. Because it is new this
year, no one has a pen like it; it
matches Eversharp.
Selve all your gift problems with
Wahl Pens and Eversharps. Give
them singly, or in matched combina
tions. Your dealer can supply velvet
lined GIFT BOXES. Make your
selection te-day.
