A CARp.-In 1861 Morton discontinued the |


d;ecopnt formerly given to the Jobbing Trade,
ord IGNORING the services of middle men, has
sold his mems either directly to those who use
them. or to such as keep them ON hand 1or the
hotter supply of the writing public IN their
own localities. There may be Jobbers who
have spoken in favor of the Morton Pen since
that time, but, if so, their remarks nave never
in a single instance reached his ear anu
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the best pens in the world, anu used
to do so, they nevertheless put forth great
exertions TO show that the Morton Pen has de-
preciated in value, and is not what it formerly
was. and that those which they vend are equal,
if not superior.
Tn order that the public may judge correctly,
and at the same time see how much pans
taking is exercised to give every one who orders,
INST sucb q pen as will exactly suit his hand,
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands,
throughout the entire country, who have re-
ceived his pens through the mails during that
time. and also calls particular attention to the
following letter which has accompanied every
pen No % MAIDEN-LASE, NEw-Y0RK,

Also the following:
TO ALL WHO USE PEN.
GOOD GOLD PEN is always ready and reliable and
If adapted to the hand makes writing pleasure rather
than task. -,
The beginner makes rapid progress with Gold
Pen than with any other, because the same pressure
always produces the result ana the proncIeht Is
better satisfied with his labor because OF the greater UNI
form,y OF ms writing, and the by which it is pro-
| duced.
