About a Pen, and mail art received

 I was going through a LIFE magazine from 28 May 1965, looking for something for a Tiny Town card when I saw this advertisement for a pen. OMG!! Just read the copy. "Girl-sized hands" Hmmm, was this aimed at female children? "Lady-like hands" Hmmm, was this aimed at royalty? My goodness, how could I ever hold a "man-sized jotter?"  aaagh! Comments welcome on this one for sure.
My young neighbor put this through my mail slot so I'm counting it as mail art. She's quite the artist!
