A CARD.--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 80, their remarks have never
in q 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
excrtions to show that the Morton Pen has de-
rrccatcd 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 he misled by their representations.
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,
inst 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: >,.,,o
NJ. Dear Sir: Your favor Of,
incosing s., is received. | send in this
the Pen ordered, and trust you Will hnd the
same TO yonr entire satisfaction however, II
yon think You would prefer any other SIZE. or
quality, or should this not suit your hand, l
will checrfully exchange any one stamped "A.
Norton if sent within ten days after Its re-
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 ana

If returned, be particular to paste the Pen as
near the lower left-h hand corner of the en-
vcope as possible, and put it up in the same

mails. The Case need not be returned unless
YOU wish to change the size OF quality, in which
instance additional stamps must be sent.
