complaint against Steel Pens at an early period Of
their manufacture, and alleged justly against some
made at this day, do not hesitate 10 say our
Pens entirely exempt from and the assertion, ii
will be found, borne out by testimonials from the
most competent judges. Some of the first writing
masters have adopted them in preference to the quill,
and when it is recoected that in ornamental writing
il is sometimes necessary to make single dash, a
line from Lilo to of inch in width, this silent
tribute to their excellence becomes the highest
pliment that can be offered
"Persons making choice Of our pens should be par.
