Leads and Holders

Using more colored Leads than any other business house in the world and unable to find a leadholder that would hold and keep on holding, we invented one with a positive stop, no provoking clutch. It has stood the test of a fifteen years' constant use; it doesn't wear out; the lead can't work back; it is a double-ender; it is perfection for editing copy, checking, etc. We mail it for 25 cents, loaded with two leads. We sell black, blue, green, yellow and red leads, for $5 a gross, 50 cents a dozen, 5 cents apiece-made for us, 3 inches long, the best quality we can get. Stamps acceptable.
