New-York tribune., 1867-07-13
A CARp.-In 1851 Morton discontinued the


discount formerly given to the Jobbing Trade,
and, ignoring the services of middle men, has
sold his pens either directly to those who use
them, or to such as keep them on hand for the
better 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 have never
in single instance reached his ear; and
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the best pens in the world, and used
to do so, they nevertheless put forth great
exertions to show that the Morton Pen has de-
preciated in value, is not what it formerly was
and that those which they vend are equal if not
superior; now since many Retail Dealers obtain
what little they know of pens, as well as the pens
themselves, entirely from the Jobbers, people are
apt to be msled by Misrepresentation.
In order that the public may judge correctly,
and at the same time see how much pains
taking is exercised to give every one who orders,
just such 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 sent:
No. 25 MAIDES-LASE, NEW YORK;
NJ. - Dear SIR: Your favor Of,
inclosing 8, is received. l send in this
the Pen ordered, and trust you will find the
same to your entire satisfaction; however, If
you think you would prefer any other size, or
quality, or should this not suit your hand,
will cheerfully exchange any one stamped A.
ceptiOn, with your objections, clearly stated,
and pOst-stamp TO return another. These re-
marks apply only to pens stamped "A. Norton
as all others are at the risk of the buyer, and
are not exchangeable.
If returned, be particular to paste the Pen as
near the lower left-hand corner of the en-
velope as possible, and put it up in the same
manner as sent to yOu, to avoid its being
crushed by the post-mark, or injured in the
mails The Case need not be returned unless
yOu wish TO change the size or quality, IN which
instance additional stamps must be sent.
Respcctly, yours, A. MORTON.
