FRiNCIS'S HIGHLY IMPROVED MANI
FOLD WRlTER.-By this wonderful invention
n letter and duplicate can be written in opera
tiou with more ease and greater facility than a
single letter with an ordinary pen and ink.
To The mercantile, professional and travelling
pant of the community this truly great invention Is
of infinite value as II is great saving OF TINE,
TROUBLE and EXPENSE. The principal advantage
to be derived from the manifold writer is, that a
copy of any document NAV be kept without any
additional trouble 10 the writer, and without any
necessity OF using either an lnkstand or a 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.
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 satisfac-
tioa of having an erdct copy of what they have
written. this will be found invaluable
The following is from1he Chairman ofthe Com
miiiee 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 Nblo's
Garden, October, l64I, report, that we have ex-
amined into the merits Of Francis's Manifold WI
ter, and find it TO be very ingenious and useful
contrivance by which two or more letters, or 9TH
or documents, may be written at once. The ink
used is not in liquid state, but consists of COM
position applied to sheets of paper. The nature
of this composition is such that it is not liable to
change color 10y exposure to the air moisture :;
nor is it easily removed from paper by chemical
agents.
The principal advantage to be derived from u
use oS 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
