FIRST TO MAKE STEEL PENS
Before Samuel Slocum's invention These Articles Sold at $3
 Dozen Wholesale.

The first machine for the manufac- ture of pens was the invention of an American. Samuel Slocum, who was born 127 years ago. AS a result of his invention steel pens, although made by hand long before, came into general use and soon displaced the quill. Be fore Slocum's machine began turning out pens in large quantities steel pens sold at wholesale for about $3 a dozen, but by 183O thanks to the improved process of manufacture, the price was reduced to about IS cents a dozen, an exchange states. The ancient Egyp- tians used brush or reed pen in writ ing on the delicate membrane obtained by unrolling the stem of the papyrus, a water plant once abundant along the Nile. The ancient Greeks and Romans also used reed cut to point sim liar to the modern pen. In the mid dle ages metal stylus was used to write on wood coated with wax Quills were first used as pens in the fifth or sixth century and their use became general. "Iron pens" were made as early as 1885, but the quill held its vogue until the invention of machinery for pen making placed pens within the reach of all.
