WHO MAKES TIE BEST And CHEAPEST GOLD PENS!

WHO MAKES TIE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLD PENS!
GOLD PENs-GooD WRITING.-To person
whose employment consists chiefly in writing
whether as author preacher, editor, teacher,
accountant, or clerk-there is nothing connected
with his vocation that can possibly annoy him
more than bad pen. We have heard bank
officers and others frequently deplore, with dis
appointed look and tone, the uncertainty and
consequent annoyance to which the very best
of steel pens frequently subject them. And
many times, also, in selecting gold pens, they
fare not much better in reaching that point of
satisfaction which ease and smoothness of
writing with good pen is certain to afford.
There are numerous varieties of gold pens in the
market and some of them very fair and pleas
ant to use for a short time but if frequently
written WITH they become dis0rdered or out of
trim, and, after many veXatiOus trials, have at
last TO be thrown away, and a new and I'M
tried make of penn substituted. And so the
difficulty runs on until the writer becomes dis
gusted with even gold pens, and returns again
to the next best make of steel pens.
Recently, however, the inventive genius of a
practical mind has been employed in the pro-
ducton of such machinery as will make gold
tions, and at lower rates than heretofore Nor
TON of No. % Maidcn-lane, New York is the
master spirit of this revolution in the art of
gold pen making, and from his mandatory,
the largest perhaps in existence, comes the very
best gold pens ever given to the world. All
other pens pale before the superior excellence
of Morton's, and he is enjoying reputation
such as no other manufacturer ever hoped to
reach before.
We make this special reference TO the supe-
rority of Morton's gold pens over all others,
because we have personally heard the frequent
complaints OF our friends and oshers, that they
could not obtain a good pen anywhere. We
wish TO remove such impression from their
minds, and to strongly recommend item 10 try
one of Morton's make. We have labored under
the same difficulties they have, and, at last,
throwing aside all other gold pens, are now using
one Of MUton's and find il so far above all our
expectations and ideas of the perfection to
which he had brought them, that We could not
be induced TO part with the one we are now
using for any consideration Of money il we
could not replace it again.
The manufacturer is an honorable honest
truthful man, and will not mirepresent his
pens, nor take advantage of distant customers
Any one sending 10 him for pen will be certain
TO receive what they write for, and no mistake.
All they need to do il to state fairly the nature
and style of their handwriting; the hardness or
hcxbility of the pen they desire, its size and
number; and they will be promptly served.
Like many others, we had our misgivings as
TO whether We could procure by mail, pen
that would suit us. But we tried the expert
mcnt. We stated the nature of our hand; the
apparent pressure we use upon the pen when
writing the angle at which we hold il; and
upon which point we incline the hand most
while writing; and by return mail came exactly
the style of pen would have selected had
we been in the factory searching for one. This
success We attribute to the practical knowledge
of the manufacturer, and his thorough acquaint-
ancc with his business.
We would be- pleased to have some of our
Writing friends step into our office and try the
pen we are now using. We feel that the use
of such "A pen would be TO them what it is TO
us-a perfect luxury.-G Wilmington CDel) Jour
