WHO MAKES THE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLD PENS:

I
GOLD PENs-GoOD WRITING.-TO a person
whose employment consists chiefly IN writing
whether rs author, preacher, editor, teacher
accountant, OF clerk-there is nothing connected
with his vocation that can possibly annoy him
more than a bad pen. We have heard bank
officers and others frequently deplore, with dis
appointed look and tone, the uncertainty and
consequent annoyance to which the very best
of steel pens frequently subject them. And
many times, also, in selecting gold pens, they
fare not much better in reaching that point of
| satisfaction which ease and smOOthness OF
writing with good pen is certain to afford.
There are numerous varieties of gold pens III the
market, and some of them very fair and pleas
ant to use for n short time, but if frequently
written with, they become disOrdered OF out of
trim, and after many vexatious trials, have at
last to be thrown away, and a new and un-
tried "make of pen" substituted. And so the
difficulty runs on until the writer becomes dis
gustcd with even gold pens and returns again
| to the next best make of steel pens.
Recently, however, the inventive genius OF n
practical mind has been employed i'll the pro-
ducti0n Of such machinery as will make gold
pen entirety free from all the ordinary obiec-
| tions, and at lower rates than heretofore. Nor
/ TON of No. 2j Marlcn-lanc, Ncw-IOrk 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 rs no other manufactures ever hoped to
reach before.
We make this special reference to the supe-
| riorty 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 n good pen anywhers%~iie
wish to remove such impression HffOm their
! minds, and to strongly recOmBend them to try
one Of Moyton's make. We have labored under
! the same difficulties they have, and at last
throwing aside all other gold pens, are now using
ore of MortOns, and find il so far above all our
/ expectations 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 viii not msrepresent his
pens, nor take advantage of distant customers
Any one sending TO him for a pen will be certain
10 receive what they write for and no mistake.
All they need To do is to state fairly the nature
and style of their handwriting; the hardness or
1cxibility 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 we use upon the pen when
writing; the angle at which NE 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 aud his thorough acquant
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 wonld be 10 them what it is to
us-a perfect luxury.-I Wilmington Del.) Jour
