His interest in Muscle Shoals led him to aid the late Senator Thaddeus Caraway when that stoop-shouldered, sharp-witted little oldster was probing lobbies in 1929-30. And he was quick to detect the political profit for little Senators with big ears...

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.
