FRANCIS'S HIGHLY IMPROVED MANI
FOLD WRITER.-By this wonderful invention
a letter and duplicate can be written in one operd-
ton with more ease and greater facility than a
single letter with an ordinary pen and ink.
To the mercantile, professional and travelling
pait of the community this truly great invention is
of infinite value as 1t 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 may be kept without any
additional trouble to the writer, and without any
necessity of using either an inkstand or q 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
orally, lawyers: postmasters, editors, reporters,
public officers, and all who may be desirous Of
preserving copies oftheir letters, documents, &c.
with an immense saving of time and the satislac-
tlon Of having erGct copy of what they have
written, this will be found invaluable
The following is from the Chairman ofthe Com
mittee on Chemicals, appointed by the managers
of the American Institute at their late Fair:
1.-The judges appointed by the Managers of the
Fair of the American Institute, held at Niblo's
Garden, October, 1871, report that we have ex-
amined into the merits of Francis's Manifold Wri
ter, and find it to be a very ingenious and useful
contrlvance, by which two more letters, or 9th
er documents, may be written at once. The ink
used is not i'll 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 by exposure to the air or moisture;
nor is it easily removed from paper by chemical
agents.
1.-The principal advantage to be derived fiom
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 a pen. II is stated
that Copyright is secured. We consider Mr..
Francis deserving reward from t!le Institute.
