WHO MAKES YHg BEST and CHEAPEST GOLDPENS'

TIM MoRToN GOLD PEN.-The shadow attends the
substance with no less certainty than imitation fol-
lows success. II a man builds a magnificent house
on a novel plan some other man is sure to build
another rs nearly like il as possible. The confding
clucking hen lays an egg; but human skill has pro-
duced china porcelain imitation, which to some
degree is made TO serve in the place of the original.
The hen very supdly sets on the China egg as il it
wero a genuine one the robber of her nest is enjoy
ing her real product in the shape Of an omelette.
But after ALL the hen is not whit more stupid than
many specimens Of humanity, who accept spurious
substitute and only too late 10 find out their
Take, for instance, Moron's gold pens. Morton put
his skill his capital, his labor and his brains TO
work. and by means OF his patented machinery pro-
I duced n pen which satisfied everybody. Enyous
and coyetous naves noted his success, and aware of
| the gullibility of mankind made miserable imita-
tions. They stole Motions name, and, altering the
initials so as TO avoid legal consequences announced
| their puerilc efforts as. The Morton Pen." Some
went further, and issuing circulars, pronsedon
| receipt of n certain sum of money to send back
Morton pen by mail the money would be sent, but
! no pen at all would be returned. Generally how
ever, spurious pens would be palmed off on unsus-
| pocting individuals.
10 remedy all this Mr. Morton has decided TO sell
his pens only ut his store, No % Maiden-lane or
through MS aScnts, VINO are Ill all cases,
provided with an official certificate from headquar-
ters, and with good stock of the Morton pens. In
this way purchasers need only buy goods that they
can previously examine for themselves. The writing
public may therefore hereafter purchase their pens
from Morton or his agents with Il calm faith and

,MoRroN's GOLD pENs.-Mr. Morton, who is an
oN friend Of TRIBUNE readers makes his
appearance again this morning in our advertising
columns. Our opinion of his pens has been
TOO often expressed to be doubtful, but we take
pleasure in saying more that know of no gold
pens in the world equal to those manufactured by
Mr.. Morton We have used them for more years
than we care 10 remember and we haye sent many
thousands of them 10 friends who were extending
onr circulation. There never was but one testimony
about them They write with unequaled and
rapidity, with almost II you choose, with quito
the elasticity Of Quill, and their durability
Is as remarkable as the nicety of their work
manshp. There is q reason for this perfection. Mr.
Aiortons pens are made by machinery of his own
invention, Of the most costly and delicate construc
tOn, which enable him tO make pens at once better
and cheaper than can he fabricated by hand. They
have superseded steel pens with all who study
idly superscding other gold pens. hr. Morton now
sells by agents as well ms at his own store, No %
Maden-lanc and his advertisement gives, in an in-
torestng way all needIul information 60 purchasers.
