FRANCIS'S HIGHLY IMPROVED MANI
FOLD WRITER.-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
part of the community this truly great invention is
of infinite value as it is great saving Of TIME,
TROUBLE and EXPENSE. The principal advantage
to be derived from the manifold writer is, that Z
copy of any document may be kept witho1t any
additional trouble to the writer, and without any
necessity of using either an inkstand or pen.
The instrument used for writing is agate point.
consequently it never wears by use. For banks,
insurance offices, merchants, of business gen
orally, lawyers pOstmasters, editors, reporters,
public officers, and all who may be deS irous oE
preserving copies OF their letters, documents &c
with an immense saving of time and the satislac-
ton of having an eract copy Of what they have
written this will be found invaluable
The following is from the Chairman of the Com
mitee on Chemicals, appointed by the managers
Of the American Institute at their late Far;
''The Judges appointed by the Managers Of the
Fair of The American Institute. held at Nbo's
Garden, October, 1871, report, that we have
au1ined into the merits of Francis's Manifold Wri
ter, and find it TO be a very ingenious and useful
contrIVance by which two or more letters, or 9TH
er documents, may lie written at orce. 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 10
change color by exposure to the air or moisiure;
nor is it easily removed from paper by chemical
agents.
1.-The principal advantage to be derived from q
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. Il is stated
that a copyright is secured. We consider Mr.
Francis deserving 4 reward from Che Institute.

Consequently a medal was awarded
Francis's Manifold Writer has now been in sue
cessful operation two years, during which time
the proprietor has had the pleasure of receiving
the unfeigned appreciation of all whose obserya-
ton it 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 the country, who pronounced it TO be aYery N
geniouS and useful cOntrivance, and nos liable to
change color by exposure to air, moisture
chemical agents. Consequently a ..neoal was
awarded by the Institute
The proprietor has lately made great improve
ments IN this article. The paper Is OF the best
quality manufactured in the United States, being
made for the Manifold writer expressly to his or
der. The ruling of them, which has for some time
been thought impossible, has at length been brought
to perfection for which copyright has been
cured. The copying books are bound in varie-
ty of forms and sizes, varying in price from 80
cents upwards
