| The
first
great
success
for
the
ballpoint
pen
came
on
an
October
morning
in
1945
when
a
crowd
of
over
5,000
people
jammed
the
entrance
of
New
York’s
Gimbels
Department
Store.
The
day
before,
Gimbels
had
taken
out
a
full-page
ad
in
the
New
York
Times
promoting
the
first
sale
of
ballpoints
in
the
United
States.
The
ad
described
the
new
pen
as
a
"fantastic...
miraculous
fountain
pen
...
guaranteed
to
write
for
two
years
without
refilling!"
On
that
first
day
of
sales,
Gimbels
sold
out
its
entire
stock
of
10,000
pens-at
$12.50
each! |
