A.CARD-In 1861 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 Tor the
better supply of the writing public III their
own localities. There may be Jobbcrs VINO
have spoken in favor of the Morton Zen since
that tine, but, if so, then remarks have never
in a single instance reached his ear; ana
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the best pens In the wOrlu, ana used
TO do 50, they nevertheless put forth great
exertons TO show that the Morton Pen has de-
prcciated in value, is not what it formerly was,
and that those which they vend are equal, II 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
ant TO bemislod by their representations.
In order that the public may Judge correctly,
and at the same time see how much PANS
taking is exercised to give every one who orders,
Just such pen as will exactly suit his hand,
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands,
throughout the entire country who have re-
cciyed his pens through the mails during that
time, and also calls particular attention to the
following lci1er which has accompanied every
pen sent: ,..,,.,.-
