Scratchy Pens To
Thing Os Past
I' in Post Offices
Old Pens Will Be Re
placed With Bail
Point Pens
The old-style, scratchy, -hand-dip
pen in the post offices, will, with
in six months, be a thing of the
past, Postmaster General Arthur
1 1 E. Summerfield says,in announcing
that competitive bids had gone out
for the manufacturing of 500,000
ball point .pens and 500,000 refills
for pse in post offices throughout
the country.
“Based on extensive studies
made of these pens in actual use,”
.the Postmaster General explained,
I™“we have decided to make ball,
point pens standard equipment for'
the use of, postal patrons.”
Mr. Summerfield said experi
(•' ments have been conducted for
many months in the use of these
pens at Selected pyst offices in j
various sections of the country.
The results probed so encouraging
that overall use was recommended
by the industrial engineers of’the
Post Office Department.
The public as well as postal em
ployees favored the use of these
pens because of their ability to
produce greater legibility. At the
same time, their use will mean im
portant savings in custodial labor
formerly needed to fill ink wells,'
replace points and other work ,
connected with the old type.
Commenting on the pilferage of ;
these new pens, Mr. SummerfieM |
noted that it was held to a mini
mum in the majority of post of
fices. Few individuals will risk up !
to a year in prison or up to SSOO j
fine to steal a pen labeled. “Prop- ;
erty of the United States Post Of
fice Department” and held to the
desk by a metal chain.
“We are certain,” Mr. Summer
field added, “that the public, who
will benefit most, will welcome
these pens as a further improve
ment in the Postal Service.”
