discount formerly given to the Jobbing Trade,
and. ignoring the services of middle men, mas
sold his pens either directly to those who use
them, or 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 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-
preciated 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
apt to be misled 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
lust such pen rs will exactly suit his hand,
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands,
throughout the entire country, who have re-
ceived his pens through the mails during that
time, and also calls particular attention to the
following letter which has accompanied every
pen sent: --. 49,. ,,o,,,

TO ALL WHO USE A PEN.
GOOD GOLD Pes is always ready aud reliable, and,
n adapted TO the hand makes writing pleasure rather
than a task. ,, 80,
