A,canI,--i;n 1881 1881 Morton discontinued the

!, A,GGaRi,--in 1881 MortAn rdiscontllpq9el tno
discount formerly given to The J6bbing 'Traur,
and, ignoring the services Of middle men, has
sold ilas pens either directly to those who use
them, or to such rs keep them on hand for the
better supply Of the writing public in their
own localities. There may be JObbeIs who
have spoken in favor If the Morton Pen since
that time, but, if so, their remarks have never
IN q sinqle instance reached his ear; and
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the best pens in the World ana uSeu
to do so, they nevertheless put 1of'n grea'
exertions to show that the Norton zen n''s uc-
preciated in value and is not what u formerly
was, and that those which they vend are equal
if not superior
In order that The public may Judge cOIrectiN
and at the same time see how much pans
taking is exercised to give every one VINO ORDERS
lust such pen as will exactly SUIT his manu.
Morton confidently refers TO the many thousands
throughout the entire country, who nave re-
ceived his pens through the mails during tiat
time, and also calls particular attention to the
following letter which has accompanied every
