ABOUT GOLD PENS.

a correspondent Of the Charleston Co,,.
ricr, writing from New York, has the fol
lowing history Of the invention, monuiac.
tore, &c., Of gold pens:--
"Thc first pen Of this sort ever used, was
in 1888. The idea of the utility Of gold
tor the purpose was conceived BY the Rev
Mr.. Cleveland. He communicated this
idea to Mr.. Brown, who improved on il and
went into the business. lie was followed
BY some half dozen others. Boglcy is nov
the most extensive manufacturer Of the ar
,icle, aud he employs in il capital Of $780,
600. Ills expenses IRE $1,000 per week.
l'latt L. Brothers, in the carly stage Of tho
manufacture, made contract with Brown
and Bagley for all the pens they made, aud
thus had the monopoly Of the market for
three years. They cold $4,000 worth
per annum Of this article, nearly ne-half
Of which was clear profit. Baglcy then
went on, and has made rapid fortune
Ills pens rank the first in tho market, al
though Browns, aud tho s'Rchclieu' pen.
made by Western g. CO., aro equally good.
In tho manufacture Of pens the gold is frs,
rolled out in ribbons, and then Gu, with
die TO the required shape; the points pm, on,
and then ground down to the required nib.
The points are iridium, new metal formed
with plan,inum. The points arc oil i'm
ported, generally without the ceremony Of
an introduction to the custom.house, aud
cost from 81 To 500 per ounce. The peus
and cases sell from $40 to $50 per dozen.
The manufacture Of the silver cases is
distinct business, aud employs large cap
Ital. II is not easy to make an estimate Of
the number Of pens manufactured per nn-
mum, but il Is probably no, less than ,OO0,-
600 ct which Brown g. Baglcy manuiac-
ture about one-half A person who had
not thought Of the subject, would scarcely
suppose thnt cigh, hundred pounds weigh,
OF guild wcro used up every year in the man.
ufaciurc Of such triiling article us pens
business unknown ten years ago--,e,
such is the fact. The demand for lhc ar,i
Gle IS enormous, and il 10 now difficult Ia
lind person who writes at all, unproyilcd
with tins most economical Of all pens. Onc
export at thousand gross has been made
to England, where they cell for sainca
apiece.
Tho secret Of tho points is the only ono
about the trade: and any jcwcller who can
solder piece of iridium To piece OF cheap
gold, can make pen rs good us the best.
