WHO MAKES TIE BESTAND CHEAPEST GOLD PENS!

WHO MAKES The BEST AND ClbAPEST GULD :
II is the Trademarks Of the prosperous and
deserving that rOgues find Their account IN
forging, aud articles of unusual and achnoW-
edged merit that imitatOIs exhaust tbclr ingonH-
ity in copying. The best metallic pen ever IN
vented is Alexander Alorton's. Nature made n
suggestion when she provided goose -quills, which
Morton accepted and carried ont in gold. The
pcnalty follows and men, without the ability 10
make an honest living, steal his name aud rcpn-
taiion To cheat the public with spurious arii-
Gle There are pens. and Morton-pcns, and The
rogue knows that if he can persuade thc 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 10 FOR
tune. 1t is n simple propoSiton-to pass oF one
pen for another. Some resort 10 even simpler
process. One lnavc issues n circular, signing
Mortons name with other initials i'm which he
promises pen for a remittance in money. The
dupc sends the money, cheated by the stolen
name, but gets nothing in rcturR. Perhaps he
seeks for redress at tho place whence the cncu-
lar ASSUMES to come; Int no such place can be
found, and he puts mp with dead loss. Or The
same cIcular is sent out with another signature; (;
but the result is the same the price is pad, bnt
no pen j. returned. AIorton's reputation thus
becomes m article of trade in The rogues mar
kct lis real owner is dcfidgdcd, and mulntudes
made the victims of knaycIy Oftcner spuri-
ous article is sold for the real Morton pen, in
which ease the reputation of the inventor suf-
fcIs still moc, and The purchaser, though lie
gets something for his money has u poor thing
where hc hoped for good one, in the existence
OF wlich he no longer believes.
Nj N9rton proposes TO protect himself and
The public. In his published Card he announces
that hcnccfoul his pens will only be sold at h!s
own place, No p Maiden lane and 10y his aU-
thorizcd agents These agents will all bc pro
yidcd with a large and conspicuous certificate
Of authority 10 SELL and the pens cannot be
bought of anybody who cannot show one. Here
after nobody need be cheated, and every body
who want, 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
thcy meant to buy Ncw-lOrl Daily Tribune.
MoRroN's GOLp PEys-Mr. Morton, the sue
ceSsfnl maker of the best gold pens III the world,
publishes u business card announcing n change
in his system of selling to dealers. He now
sells the Morton pen at Wholesale TO nobody
hut duly appointed and authorized agents, who
are required to sell to the public at Nlr. Nor
toms published rate of prices. This arrange
mcpt will secure 10 every principal town an
authorized agent who will have a full and va
red assortment of these justly famous pens, so
that the purchaser can have far 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
stated our opinion of Mortons gold pens. They
are beyond comparison the best. The makers
system of machinery, too, by ccOnomzing labor,
enables him to put upon the market pen of
purer gold, and far better make, than any 9th
ers, at prices much less, in proportion TO quality
and make, than those of any other manufac-
turcr. Hartford DAILY Times.
MORroN's GOLD PENs.-Wc have used many
gold pens, and like those made by Mr.. 4. Nor
ton, of No. % Maiden-lanc, far better than any
Others we have ever tried We have used no
other for a long time past. No better gold pen
il made American AgliculuIist.
