It is a well-known maxim that " time is money "—the terms
are relative ; so to save one is to save the Other. We .save
both time, and economise patience, and present good tempers,
when we have a good PEN—a bad one upsets patience and
temper. Preserve all, then, by purchasing your steel pens and
other stationery at E. T. Hall's -wholesale steel pen warehouse.
