E have been on the out-look for a premium that would be acceptable to the great

What one may

like may be strictly opposite to the taste of another. What may be acceptable to a gentleman is oft useless to a lady. What a boy would revel in may be distaste ful to a girl. Thus in the search for a suitable premium it is very difficult to select one that is acceptable to one and all alike. If it is possible to get hold of such an article, we think we have succeeded in our selection of the noted

POST FOUNTAIN PEN.

Now there are fountain pens and FOUNTAIN PENS. A good one is a boon, while an inferior article is a nuisance. The "Post" is considered one of the best if not THE BEST in the market. It is the constant companion of some of the leading men in the country, and the list of testimonials herewith submitted cannot be excelled. In this list will be found leading men in Politics, Finance, Law, Religious Movements, Literary Men, Bankers and Business Men Men who never before allowed their names to be used in this way have not hesitated to recommend the "Post" and in terms of praise simply unqualified.

One and all designate the "Post" as the nearest to perfection of anything yet found. In the words of Dr. Josiah Strong, "The post leaves nothing to be desired." The testimonials submitted here state very clearly the many advantages of the Post Pen over all others. It is a Self-filler and Self-cleaner, two points which carry it far ahead of all

others in the market.
