A modest little book from Gordon & George publishers of Seattle made its appearance in 1915. Its full, rather long-winded title was Presenting the Speed-Ball Pen: with Alphabets, Drawings and Designs Produced with This “Wizard of Lettercraft.” This rather zany font in based on a freehand two-stroke alphabet from that very book, and gets its name from one of many nonsense songs popular in the 1940s.
