FRANCIS'S HIGHLY IMPROVED MANI
FOLD WRIrER.-By this wonderful invention
letter and duplicate can be written in one opera
ton with more ease and greater facility than
single letter with an ordinary pen and ink
To the mercantile, professional and travelling
palt of the community this truly great invention is
of infinite value IT is great saving OF TIME,
TROUBLE and EXPENSE. The principal advantage
10 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 inkstand or pen.
The instrument used for writing is agate point,
consequently it never wears by use. For banks,
insurance Offices, merchants, men of business gen.
erallv. lawyers postmasterS, editors, reporters
public officers, and all who may be desirous of
preserving copies of their letters, documents, &c.
with an immense saving of time and the satislac-
tion of having enact copy of what they have
written, this will be found invaluable
The following is from the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Chemicals, appointed by the managers
of the American Institute at their late Fair:
"The Judges appointed by the Managers of the
Fair of the American Institute, held at Niblo's
Garden, October, ls4l, report, that we have ex-
amned into the merits of Francis's Manifold Wn
ter, and find it to be a very ingenious and useful
contrivance, by which two more letters, or 9TH
er documents, may be written at once. The ink
used is not in a LIQUID state but consists of COM
position applied 10 sheets of paper: The nature
of this composition is such that it is not liable to
Grange color by exposure to the air or moisture;
nor is it easily removed from paper by chemical
agents.
The principal advantage to be derived from a
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 copy--ght is secured. We consider Mr..
Francis deserving reward from the Institute.
Consequently medal was awarded.

tion il has come under. At the late fair of the
American Institute the merits of the article were
examined into by three of the most able chemists
in tle country, who pronounced it to be a very IN
genious and useful contrivance, and not liable TO
change color by exposure 10 air, moisture, or
chemical agents. Consequently a mecal was
awarded by the Institute
