A Parker Fountain Pen makes ugly look beautiful.
When you pick up a Parker Fountain Pen, something beautiful happens You
somehow rediscover the long lost Art of Handwriting.
Maybe it’s because you can fee/ the ink flow onto the paper Smoothly. Effort-
lessly. Or because you can actually control the way a word looks
But anyway, a Parker Fountain Pen brings out a touch of the artist in you
Parker makes a 1.150 14K solid gold Fountain Pen for rich artists Or the Parker
45 for only $5. Which is a beautiful price to pay for a work of art.
