A CARp.-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, OF 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 SO, their remarks have never
in a 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
exertions to show that the Morton Pen has de-
precated 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 be msled 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,
just such pen as will exactly suit his hand
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands,
throughout the entire country, who have re-
ceved his pens through the mails during that
time, and also calls particular attention to the
following letter Witch has accompanied every
pen sent:
NJ. -- Dear Sir: Your favor d,
inclosing s., is received. | send m this
the Pen ordered, and trust you will find the
same to your entire satisfaction; however, IL
you think you would prefer any other size, or
quality, or should this not suit your hand, L
will cheerfully exchange any one stamped A.
Norton" if sent within ten days after its re-
ceptOn, 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 or the buyer, ana
are not exchangeabe.
If returned, be particular to paste the Pen as
near the lower left-hand corner OF the en-
velOpe as possible and put it up in the same
manner as sent to You, to avoid It's being
crushed by the post mark, OF injured in the
mails. The Case need not be returned unless
you wish to change the size or quality, In which
instance additional stamps must be sent.
Respectly, yours A. MORTON.
Also the following:
TO ALL WHO USE PEN.
Coon GOLD Pen is always ready and reliable and,
II adapted to the hand makes writing pleasure rather
The beginner makes more rapid progress with Gold
Pen than with any other because the same pressure
always produces the same result and the proficient is
better satisfied with his labor because OF the greater uni
formty Of his writing, and the by which 1t is pro-
duced.
The gold at the point is brought to state Of fusion,
when the point sinks into it, and the two become
metal entirely impervons 10 the action of the acids In
inks. This be done I'm making pens because the
gold is than three times thick as It Is after the
pen rolled to the proper thinness OF the finished state
When pens repOinted solder must be used which
will melt than the gold OF which the is made,
other wise the points will curl into glObuar form. BY
tn process the temper taken out Of the nib the elias

process OF corrOsOn On these accounts, and knowing
from long experience that rep0nted pens rarely give
satisfaction the subscriber must positively Refuse to Re-
point Gold Pens
