There is more genuine "pen satisfaction" In a Conklin than in any other fountain pen on the market today. Six months ago, the Conklin pen was practically unknown in Dallas. Today, a great many people know about them. A year from now, R will be the best known pen In Dallas. Just mind this prediction. The day of the old-fashioned "dropper-filler" pen. with ita waste of time and inky fingers, is passing, nev er to return. In five years from now. a man with a dropper-filler pen will be as much of a curiosity as a man with a key-winding watch. A hen we sell a man a Conklin sef .U!ing pen, we tell him to bring It back if it doesn't suit him, and we will cheerfully return his money. We have bcn selling these pens for nearly eipht months, and to date not one of th -m has been brought back. In (teveral instances, a customer mho bought one pen has returned to the store and bought another. This has hnpjened twlc In the last week. Could we (rive you a higher recom rmndation of this wonderful pen? J. C. HAYTER Bookseller and Stationer 428 Mm Street Christy Mathewson, the Idol Of Baseball Fans Everywhere V "v i Vis ' ' mih " wiBiiiiiiiiii !i!Pllflll! mmmmm fliiiiir a;lSII Photo copyright, 1912, by American Press Association. BASEBALL enthusiasts everywhere call him "Matty," but he Is really Christopher Mathewson, and it Is by that name be Is known In tha insurance business, at which he works when he is not playing ball The six months he puts in as an athlete bring him perhaps $7,500, which is doubtless considerably more than he makes the rest of the year sell ing insurance. Matty was born in 18S0, and all his baseball career, except at Bucknell university, where he was graduated, and a few months with small towns, has been spent with the New York National league team, better known as the Giants Small boys everywhere regard Mathewson as the greatest man alive There Is much in his career that boys can emulate with profit He has always played the game the best he could, he has led a clean life, and he has never been ordered from the diamond because of a dispute with an umpire.
