Handy Water Pens
Take best quality violet Analine, reduce to a
thick paste with water; then add Mucilage and mix thoroughly. Apply the
paste thus made to the pen, and let it dry twelve hours Any steel pen
may be prepared in this way. We always keep in stock the best violet
Analine, also a large stock of pens.
Directions for Using.--Start action by dipping into water up to
filling. If pen should be greasy, wet point with the tongue. To make
the ink flow thick, dip to the filling; if wanted thin or pale, dip
only to the eye of the pen after starting. After using throw the water
off, but don't wipe it, for it will dry in a minute.
