Scope and content
Parker Pens had a nationwide promotion of their new Jotter ball pen in 1954. The Stationers, Inc, prominently displayed samples of the new pen in their front windows. The Jotter came in three point sizes--fine, medium and broad, four colors and promised to last six times longer than the average ball pen. The rotating ball seat prevented wear and leaking. The Stationers, Inc., had two locations in downtown Tacoma. They were complete office outfitters; besides office supplies, they sold desks, chairs, typewriters, filing equipment and engineering supplies. The 1954 City Directory listed C. Howard Armstrong as president with J.F. Wilhelmi as vice-president/treasurer. View of Stationers' display window photographed at night; abundant signs promoting Parker Jotter ball pens.
