Mite Me Le Yolton, Regional Director,
We Ae Scheaffer Pen Company,
Pert Madison, Towie

Dear Irs Yolton:

_ Thank you for your inquiry of December 22nd
concerning our desk pen sete To be perfectly frank with you, M's.
Yolton, the pen with the red ink never functioned. |

My secretary, who was with me over twelve
years and is with us yet, can vouch for it that I kept protesting
to her that it seemed queer that the red ink would never work six
hours after she filled it. 1 would ask her each morning when I
wanted to use it if she had refilled it. It seemed as if the red
ink pen never got the job done fron the beginning.

Then after a year or so the pen with black
ink began to fail mee I recall taking it back to Mir, Marks, and —
whether he sent it in or uot I am mot sure, but he talked with your
man about it, and whatever was done with it, it still would not work
aad I used it for years only as on ornaments Incidentally, it was
too expensive for mo to use as an ornanent.

I would not object in the slightest to the pens
if they would write. The points are ali right and I like them fine
as a desk set when they work, but really they have never given me
any services I have talked to a great number of owmers of this
similar desk set and each one had the sane difficulty. i have yet
to find a single man who owed this particular type of pen that said
it gave him satisfactory services I contacted at least a dozen, In
fact, I talked to Mr. Marks himself about his, and he said that it
never gave him service, so it seems right that I should not expect
to work if his did note

your

mine

I thought it was just a miss~«out that
firm had made on this type of pen, but I was not satisfied to pay
this much money and get so little service. I am signing my letter
with a Sheaffer Lifetime which I bought from Mr. Marks, one of your
newest barrels. I like this Lifetime very much, and only wish your
desk set would fumection like my vest edition.

Very sincerely yours,

FCAsAH : Director of Physical Education.
