Bald, cantankerous Rudolph E. Leppert is not only art editor of The Literary Digest but a draughtsman in his own right. Weeks ago he sent a pen & ink drawing of President Roosevelt to the exhibition of Manhattan's Salmagundi Club, an organization of elderly esthetes. Last week the Salmagundi hanging committee accepted the Leppert drawing, stuck it up behind a door. Rudolph E. Leppert also happens to be a rampant admirer of the New Deal. As he saw it, the Salmagundi Club was guilty of a "slur at the President...

It was the first standard high-priced fountain pen launched on what had always been a low-priced market. Next Walter Sheaffer streamlined his pens. Then in quick succession he introduced the Sheaffer desk set with universal socket (which seals the tip of the pen and keeps it moist), the Feathertouch nib, the special Sheaffer pencil which "propels, repels and expels the lead," the Sheaffer Vacuum-Fil pen.
