WHO MAKES THE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLD PENS!

1t is the trade marks of the prosperous and
deserving that rogues find their account in
forging, and articles of unusual and acknOwl-
edged merit that imitators exhaust their ingenu-
ity in copying The best metallic pen ever in
vented is Alexander MortOn's. Nature made
suggestion when she provided goose -quills which
Morton accepted and carried out in gold. The
penalty follows, and men, without the ability to
make an honest living, steal his name and repu-
tation to cheat the public with a spurious arti-
Gle. There are pens, and Norton pens, and the
rogue knows that if he can persuade the people
who write and don't scratch merely, that that
which he can make is the same thing as that
which he cannot he is on the high road TO for
tune IL is simple prOpOsition-t0 pass of one
pen for another. Some resort to even a simpler
process. One knave issues circular, signing
Morton's name with other initials, in which he
promises q pen for a remittance in money. The
dupe sends the money, cheated by the stolen
name, but gets nothing in return. Perhaps he
seeks for redress at the place whence the circu-
lar assumes to come but no such place can be
found and he puts up with dead loss. Or the
same circular is sent out with another signature;
but the result is the same the price is paid, but
no pen is returned MortOn's reputation thus
becomes an article Of trade in the rogues mar
ket its real owner is defrauded and multitudes
made the victims of knayery. Oftener a spuri-
ous article is sold for the real Morton pen in
which case the reputation of the inventor suf-
fers still more, and the purchaser, though he
gets something for his money, has poor thing
where he hoped ior IL good one, in the existence
of which he no longer believes.

the public. In his published Card he announces
that henceforth his pens will only he sold at his
own place No. 25 Maiden-lane, and by his au
thOrzed agents These agents viii all be pro-
vided with large and conspicuous certificate
of authority to SELL and the pens cannot be
bought of anybody who cannot show one. Here
after nobody need be cheated, and everybody
who wants the best of pens can buy them of the
agents at the manufacturers prices, with the
certainty that the article paid for is the article
they meant to buy.-[NewYo Daily Tribune.

Iied assortment OF these justly famous pens, SO
that the purchaser can have a ia wider range
of selection than heretofore, when every large
town has had several dealers offering limited
and indifferent samples of this pen, and often
at unfair prices We have on other occasions

and make, than those of any other mahIfac-
