FRANCIS'S HIGHLY IMPROVED MANI
FOLD WRITER-By this wonderful invention
a letter and duplicate can be written in opera
ton with more case and greater facility than a
single letter with an ordinary pen and INK
To the mercantile, professional and travelling
palt of the community this truly great invention -
of infinite value 1t is great saving OF TINE,
TROUBLE and EXPENSE The principal advantage
to be derived from the manifold writer IS, that
copy of any document may be kept without any
additional trouble to the writer, and without any
necessity of using either an inkstand or pen
The instrument used for writing IS an agate point
consequently it never wears by use. For banks,
insurance offices, merchants, men OF business gen
erally lawyers. postmasters, editors, reporters,
publc officers, and all who may be desirous OF
preserving copies of their letters, documents, &c
with an immense saving of time and the SatlSac-

change color by exposure TO the air or moisture;
nor is it easily removed from paper by chemical
agents.
"The principal advantage to be derived nom
use of the Manifold Writer is, that copy OF any
document may be kept without any additional
trouble to the writer, and without the necessity OF
using either an inkstand or pen. 1t is stated
that a copyright is secured. We consider Mir.
Francis deserving a reward from the Institute.
