His fountain pen slipped out of his pocket and went hurtling to the ground. The owner of the pen. after an exclamation of annoyance, showed no sign of perturbation. The friend, however, was much upset, until he was told about the Sheaffer Lifetime Guarantee. “Ten to one.” said the owner. the pen won’t be a scrap damaged.
