McNaughton & co.,

Artistic Fountain Pens One has only to step inside the shop of McNaughton & Co., Esk Street, to realize that they are stationers of distinction. Everything in the shop is of a quality that appeals to the fastidious purchaser, yet is of a price to be within the range of all pockets. There are beautiful boxes of perfumed stationery, fountain pens of many makes, propelling pencils as low priced as 1/6 and as dear as 30/-. Some very attractive calendars grace the walls and there is a table devoted to novelty bridge sets, including scoring sheets, cards and engagement books. For men there are handsome pocket wallets,-dairies and neat note books. There is a wide range of photo albums and autograph albums.

Probably what strikes the eye most in the window is the array of fountain pens and propelling pencils. Every year these are made more artistic and at the same time less expensive. All the recognized makes— Waterman, Sheaffer, Swan and Conway Stewart —are stocked. Sheaffers .especially have some beautiful designs. Those who give fountain pens or pencils as Christmas presents have the satisfaction of knowing that they are not merely useful but are objects of art ah well. The shop also contains playing cards of beautiful designs in extremely neat cases.
