1WAVERLEY PEN
31s. per Box, 1s. 2d. per Post.
5THE WAVERLEY PEN.—Here is a genial sort of a thing. It goes along so agreeably that one is tempted to scribble away even after the thought is terminated. It is a positive luxury after the experience of the stiff, stubborn, spitting, and spiteful article with which writers have sometimes to work. There is a graceful bend at the top, which tells at once that it is a well-behaved and gentlemanly pen, and fit for the best society. The polite and agreeable bend of the "Waverley" has been secured by patent from vile imitatory, who would, doubtless, have made all sorts of contortions in imitation of its aristocratic qualities. Would that all our correspondents possessed these pens! We might then, at our ease, wax fat. The man who would make wretched scribbling with a "Waverley" ought to be "hauled-up" as a nuisance. Let every one who writes buy a shilling box of the "Waverley," and thus secure pleasure to himself in writing, and ease to the reader in its perusal.—From the Banner of Ulster.
7This Pen is the best Pen we have ever tried. By an arrangement of the point, it almost makes the hand run after it, so facile and so pleasant is it.—From the Greenock Herald.
9Those who, like myself, scribble for the press, know the value of a good pen; but how to find one has always to me been a more difficult problem than that "asses' bridge" which puzzled my young brain. I must say, however, that the "Q.E.D." of the steel pen problem has at last been made clear. An article has been produced by MACNIVEN & CAMERON of Edinburgh, which bears the name of the "Waverley Pen," that must ultimately supersede all others. It possesses all the flexibility and smoothness of the quill, and is the best steel pen I have ever written with. Those who try the "Waverley" once will, I am convinced, use it ever afterwards.—From the Newcastle Chronicle.
