WHO MAKES THE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLD PESS'


COLD PENs-GooD WRTING.-TO person
whose employment consists chiefly IN "li'ins-
whether as author, preacher, editor' teacnci
accountant, or clerk-thcre is nothing cohhecteu
with his vocation that can possibly annoy hi'n
more than bad pen. We have heard DtlK
officers and others frequently deplore, Win JUS
Amounted look and tone, the uncertainty anu
consequent annoyance to which the very best
of steel pens frequently subject them. ANA
MANY times. also, in selecting gold pens, they
fare not much better in reaching that point OF
satisfaction which case and smOothness OF
writing with good pen fs certain 10 alloIu'
1boro arc numerous varieties of gold pens IN the
morket and some of them very fair and pleas
ant to use for short time, but IL 1requehtiy
written with, they become disordered OF ouC VI
trim, and after many vexatlous trlals, nave a'
last TO be thrown away, and ne" anu ul'-
tried make of penn substituted. And so the
difficulty runs on until the writer becomes dls-
gusted with even gold pens, and returns again
to the next best make OF steel pens.
Recently, however, the inventive genius OF a
practical mind has been employed in the pro-
duction of such machinery as Will make a goa
ren entirety free from all the ordinary objec-
TONS and at lower rates than heretofore. NOR
TON of No. 25 Maden-lane, New-York Is the
master spirit of this revolution in the art OF
gold pen making, and from his mandatory,
the largest perhaps in existence, comes the very
best gold pens ever given to the world. All
other pens pale before the superior excellence
of Morton's, and he is enjoying reputation
such as no other manufacturer ever hoped TO
reach before.
We make this special reference to the supe-
riority of Morton's gold pens over all others,
because we have personally heard the frequent
complaints of our friends and others, that they
could not obtain good pen anywhere. we
wish to remove such impression from Their
minds, and to strongly recommend them TO Try
one Of Mort0Hs make. We have labored under
the same difficulties they have, and, at last,
throwing aside all other gold pens, are now using
one of Morton's, and find it so far above all our
cxpcctatons and ideas of the perfection to
which he had brought them, that we could not
be induced to part with the one we are now
using for any consideration of money If we
could not replace it again.
The manufacturer is an honorable, honest,
truthful man, and will not misrepresent his
pens. nor take advantage of distant customers.
ANY one sending to him for n pen will be certain
10 receive what they write for and no mistake
All thoy mood to do is to state fairly the nature
and style of their handwriting; the hardness or
fcxibility Of the pen they desire; its size and
number; and they will be promptly served
Like many others, we had our misgivings as
to whether We could procure by mail, pen
that would suit us. But we tried the expert
mcnt. We stated the nature OF our hand; the
apparent pressure use upon the pen when
writing the angle at which we hold il; and
upon which point we incline the hand most
while writing; and by return mail came exactly
the style of pen we would have selected had
we been in the factory searching for one. This
success we attribute to the practical knowledge
of the manufacturer, and his thorough acquaint-
ancc with his business.
We would be pleased to have some of our
writing friends step into our office and try the
pen we are now using. We feel that the use
of such pen would be to them what it is to
us-a perfect luxury Wilmington Del) Jour
