WHO MAKES TIE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLD PENS

II is the trademarks of the prosperous ana
deserving that rogues find their account III
forging, and articles of unusual and acknowi-
edged merit that imitators exhaust their lngenu-
ity in copying. The best metallic pen ever IN
vented is Alexander MortOn's. Nature made
suggestion when she provided goose Qullls, wnlch
Morton accepted and carried out III gold. Inc
nenalty follows. and men, without the ability 10
make an honest living, steal his name and repu-
tatiou TO cheat the public with a spurious arti-
Gle. There are pens, and Mort0n-pens, and the
rogue knows that if he can persuade the 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 TO 1or-
tune. 1t il n simple proposition-to pass OH one
pen for another Some resort to even simpler
process One knave issues circular, signing
Mortons name with other initials, in which nc
promises pen for remittance III money. Inc
dupe sends the money, cheated by the stolen
name but gets nothing in return. Perhaps nc
seeks for redress at the place whence the circu-
lar assumes to come; but no such place can De
found and he puts up with dead loss. Or the
same circular is sent out with another signature;
but the result is the same; the price is paid but
no pen is returned. MOrtons reputation thus
becomes an article of trade in the rogues' mar
ket its real owner is defrauded, and multitudes
made the victims of knavery. Oftener spull-
GUS article is sold for the real Morton pen, In
which case the reputation of the inventor SUI
fers still more, and the purchaser, though he
gets something for his money, has poor thing
where he hoped for good one, in the existence
of which he no longer believes.
Mr.. Morton proposes to protect himself anu
the public. In his published Card he announces
that hencefOrth his pens will only he sold at his
own place, No. % Maiden-lane and by his au-
thorized agents. These agents will all be pro-
vided with a large and conspicuous certificate
of authority to sell, and the pens cannot be
bought of anybody who cannot show one Here
after nobody need be cheated, and everybody
who wants the best of pens can buy them of the
agents at the manufacturers prices, with the
ertanty that the article paid for is the article
they meant to buy,-lNew- York Daily Tribune
MoRToN's GOLD PRNs.-Mr. Morton, the sue
cessful maker of the best gold pens in the world
publishes business card announcing a change |
in his system of selling to dealers. He now |
sells the Morton pen at wholesale to nobody |
but duly appointed and authorized agents who |
are required TO sell to the public at Mr.. Nor |
tons published rate of prices. This arrange |
mcnt will secure TO every principal town an |
Authorized agent who will have 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 |
AMI indifferent samples of this pen, and often
at unfair prices. We have on other occasions
stated our opinion of MOrton's gold pens. They
are beyond comparison the best. The makers
system Of machinery, too by economizing labor,
enables him To put upon the market pen of |
p1reT 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-
tlTer. Hartford Daily Times.
MoRToSs GOLD PESs.-We have used many
gold pens, and like those made by Mr.. A. Nor
ton, of No. 25 Maiden-lanc, far better than any
others we have ever tried We have used no
other for n long time past. No better gold pen
is made. American Agricultural.
