N0N-SUPP0RT CHARGE

tence and Respondent Is AL
lowed to Go on Own Recog-

The Friday docket at the municipal

continued the case for sentence in ord

matter, the respondent in the mean
time being allowed to go on his own

Years Of usage constitute the
acid test Of fountain pen. The
self filling devices on other pens
may be all right, but they are new
as yet, they've not been put to the
merciless test of TINE and HARD

The CONKLIN is not only the
original but it has been on the
market for 16 consecutive years,
and is today endorsed by over
100000 satisfied users. That's
real proof.
