WHO MAKES TIE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLD PENS!

VINO MAKES TIE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLD PENS!
1t is the trademarks of the prosperous and
deserving that r0gues find their account IN
forging and articles of unusual and acknowl-
edged merit that imitators exhaust their inSenu-
ity in copying. The best metallic pen ever IN
vented is Alexander M0ltOn's. Nature made
suggestion when she provided goose-quills, which
Morton accepted and carried out in gold. The
penalty follows, and men, without the ability TO
make an honest living, steal his name and repu-
taton TO cheat the public with a spurious arti-
ce. There are pens, and MortOn-pens, and the
rogue knows that if he can persuade the people
who write and don't seIatci merely, that that
which he can make is the same thing as that
which he cannot, he is on the high road to for
tune. 1t is simple prOpositiOn-to pass off one
pen for another Some resort to even simpler
process One knave issues circular, signing
MoItOns name with other initials, in which he
promises pen for remittance III money The
dupe sends the money, cheated by the stolen
name but gets nothing in return. Perhaps he
seeks for redress at the place whence the circu-
lar assumes to come; bet no such place can be
found and he puts up with dead loss. Or the
same circular is sent out with another signature;
but the result is the same; the price is paid, but
no pen is returned MOrton's reputation thus
becomes an article of trade in the rOgues' mar
ket It's real owner is defIauded, and multitudes
made the victims of hnavery. Oftener Spuri-
Ous article is sold for the real Morton pen, in
which case the reputation of the inventor suf-
fers still more, and the purchaser, though he
gets something for his money, has poor thing
where he hoped for good one, in the existence
of which he no longer believes.
Nh Morton proposes to protect himself and
the public In his published Card he announces
that henceforth his pens will only be sold at his
own place, No. % Maidcn-lane, and by his au-
thorized agents. These agents will all be pro-
vided with large aud conspicuous certificate
of authority to sell, and the pens cannot be
bought of anybody who cannot show One Here
after nobody need be cheated, and everybody
who wants the best of pens can buy them OF the
agents at the manufacturers prices, with the
certainty that the article paid for is the article
they meant to buy.-[New FORK Daily Tribune.
NoRTON's GOLD PENs.-Mr. Morton, the sue
cessfll maker of the best gold pens in the world,
publishes a business card announcing a change
in his system of selling to dealers. He now
| sells tHc MOlJoH pen dt NIoitN'lI' W Hououy
but duly appointed and authorized agents, who
are required to sell to the public at Mr.. Nor
toms published rate Of prices. This arrange
ment will secure TO every principal town an
| authorized agent who will have full and va
| ricd assortment of these justly famous pens, so
that the purchaser can have far wider range
of selection than heretofore, when every large
town has had several dealers offering limited
and Indifferent samples of this pen, and often
at unfair prices. We have on other occasions
stated our opinion of Morton's gold pens. They
are beyond comparison the hest. The makers
system of machinery, too by economizing labor
enables him TO put upon tie market a. pen of
purer gold and far better make, than any 9th
ers, at prices much less, in proportion TO quality
and make, than those of any other mmuiac
, tuIer. Hartford DAILY Times.
MOTIONS GOLD PENs.-We have used many
gold pens, and like those made 10y Mr.. A. Nor
ton, OF No. 2j Maiden-lme far better than any
others we have ever tried. We have used no
other for long time past. No better gold pen
is made american AgTicultmist.
