On January 7, 1890, William Purvis of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, received a patent for the fountain pen. The pen eliminated the need for an ink bottle by storing ink within a reservoir within the pen which is then fed to the pen’s tip. The creation of the fountain pen has made office work cleaner and less expensive for businesses all over the world.
“The object of my invention is to provide a simple, durable, and inexpensive construction of a fountain pen adapted to general use and which may be carried in the pocket.”–William Purvis
Also, Purvis successfully patented several other inventions including a bag machines, a bag fastener, a hand stamp, an electric railway device, an electric railway switch and a magnetic car balancing device. It is believed that he invented, but not patented, items such as the edge cutter found on aluminum foil, cling wrap and wax paper boxes.

Informative article, just what I needed.
Fantastic goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous
to and you’re just too magnificent. I actually like what you’ve received right here, certainly
like what you’re stating and the best way in which you assert it.
You are making it enjoyable and you still care for to stay it
sensible. I can not wait to read far more from you. That
is really a great web site.
Great blog here! Also your site loads up very fast! What host are you using?
Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my website loaded
up as fast as yours lol
I think everything published made a ton of sense.
But, think on this, what if you composed a catchier post title?
I am not suggesting your content is not good.,
but what if you added a post title that makes people desire more?

With The Invention Of The Fountain Pen is a little boring.
You might peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create news headlines to
grab viewers interested. You might add a video or a picture or
two to grab people excited about everything’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more
interesting.
I think the admin of this website is truly working hard in support
of his web page, for the reason that here every stuff is
quality based data.
This is a great post. Thank you for sharing!
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
I pay a quick visit daily a few websites and sites to read articles or reviews, except this weblog offers quality based writing.
