To nerson whose employment consists i
chiefly in writing - whether as aulhor,
editor, teacher, accountant OF
is nothing connected with DIS
vocation that can possibly annoy him more
than a bad pen. We have heard bank OIL
GERS and others frequently deplore-wlth
disappointed look and tone-the uncer-
tainty and consequent annoyance to when
the very best of steel pens frequently SUD
ject them. And many times also, in select
ing gold pens they fare not much better IN
reaching that point of satisfaction which
ease and smoothness of writing with goou
pen is certain to afford. There are numerous
varieties of gold pens in the market ana
some of them very fair and pleasant TO use
for short time, but II frequently written
with they become disordered or out OF trim,
and, after many yexatious trials have at
last TO be thrown away, and new and un-
tried ''make of pen" substituted. And SO
the difficulty runs on, until the writer We
comes disguised with even gold pens, anu
returns again to the next best make OF steel
pens.
Recently however, the inventive genius OF
practical mind has been employed in the
production of such machinery as will make
a gold pen entirely free from all the ordinary
objections, and at lower rates than hereto
fore. MORTON, of No. 90 Maiden Lane
New York, is the master spirit of this Tevo-
luton 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 Nor
toms, and he is enjoying reputation sucl
as no other manufacturer ever hoped t'
reach before.
We make this special reference to thu
superiority of Morton's gold pens over al
others, because we have personally hear'
the frequent complaints of our friends AM
others, that they could not obtain goo
pen anywhere. We wish to remove sue
/ impression from their minds, and to strongl
t recommend them 10 try one Of Mortoll's max
0 We have labored under the same dithculut
they have, and, at last, throwing aside u
c other gold pens, are now using one OF Mo
Y TOMS, and tind it 60 far above all our expo
IS tations and ideas Of the perfection 10 whiC
/ he had brought them, that we could not
induced TO part with the one we are no
r. using for any consideration of money ii v
,r could not replace it again.
Is The manufacturer is an honorable, homes
lie truthful man, and will not misrerresent !
CIR pens, nor take advantage of distant cus'
mers. Any one sending to him for pc
Id will be certain to receive what they VT
IL for, and no mistake. All they need to do
to state fairly the nature and style OF tn
n handwriting; the hardness or fexibllity
at the pen they desire; its size and numb
Ie- and they will be promptly served.
he Like many others, we had our misgiyir
full as to whether we could procure by mail
I'D pen that would suit US. But we tried the
pertinent. We stated the nature of our hal
~ the apparent pressure we use upon the ]
,rk when writing; the angle at which we h
1t; and upon which point we incline the hi
most while writing; and by return mail ca
~, exactly the style Of pen we would have sell
ed had we been in the factory searching
one. This success we attribute to the pl
L., tical knowledge of the manufacturer,
70, his thorough acquaintance with his busln
~. We would be pleased to have some of
- writing friends step into our Office and
NJ the pen we are now using. We feel that
" use of such pen would be to them VIII
-, is to us-a perfect luxury.
