NEw-YoRK DAILY TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, MAY Is, 1867

We are pleased TO learn that Mr.. Morton, the
maker of the famous Morton Gold Pens, has
now an agency for the sale of this splendid pen
in Hartford. VIM. James Hamersley is the
agent, No. 263 Main-st., from whom all pur-
chasers can be supplied; and dealers can pur-
chase of Mr.. Hamersley at the club rates of dis
count. Mr.. Notions system of doing business
is his own. He has been driven into the
adoption of this system by the outrageous
frauds of many unprincipled persons who trade
on MOTtOn's reputation, and sell spurious and
worthless pens purpOrting to be his. To such
an extent has this swindle been carried, that Mr..
Morton has been compelled to announce that
in future his pens will only be sold at his own
establishment, No. 25 Maiden-lane, New-YOrk,
and by bis authorized and certified agents. Mr..
Hamersley is the only agent for these celebrated
pens, so far as we know, in this section of Con-
necticut.
The Morton pen needs no introduction to the
readers of The Times. Thousands of our read
ers already know its superiority, many of them
from actual trial; but there are thousands more
who may have forgotten our former indorse-
ment of this splendid pen, as the best gold pen
ever made; and for their benefit we speak
10 other gold pen is so cheap, because no
other wears so well; 2. That no other is so
well made, because Morton, by long years of
patient and delicate experiment, and the use
of costly and nice machinery, used by him
alone, is able TO insure uniform and genuine
excellence, both in material and finish, that is
quite unrivaled; and, (and most Important,
That in the principle OF their construction,
these pens are immensely superior TO all others,
and stand by themselves alone. Ihey approach,
more nearly than any other gold pen, natures
model in the Old-fashiOned goose quill, possess
ing all the elasticity and sm00thness OF the
best quill, with more than its "spring;" and
this "springn and elasticity holds unimpaiTed
by constant use for years. Go to Hamersley's
and try one of M0rtOn's mo. G'-that is gen
orally his best pcn-and see, reader, If, after
having selected one TO suit your hand, we did
not tell You the truth when we said there was
no other pen like it.-LTimes, Hartford, Conn,
April 49, 1861.
GOLD PENs.-We have used many gold pens
in years past and could never find one that we
preferred TO a good steel pen but few weeks
since being induced by a friend to try a gold
pen again, we were both surprised and de-
lighted to find it a decided Improvement over
the best steel pens. Its iieNlblllty. however, was
not perfectly adjusted to the hand and we sent
II back TO the manufacturer by letter; Another
mcnt on the first. This was returned also with
u careful statement OF its DEFICIENCIES, and then
came third which proves to be just the
article we have wanted for years; and now
after using it few weeks it would take quite
n pile of pccnhacbs to buy it, ii We knew not
where TO look for another.
We write with far moro ease than heretofore,
there is 10 scattering ar scratching, and we
are truly delighted with the change. The pen
is from A. Morton, No. - Maiden lane, New
York, who on the receipt Of a stamp Will send
circular giving n full description OF the
various sizes with the price of cach.-LIhe'
Congrcgationalist, Boston, April 12, 1867.
After long trial of Mr.. Morton's gold pens we
are able TO indoIse them rs the very best that
we have ever put upon paper. We are now
writing with one which We have used constantly
for years, and it is a. smooth and perfect rs
when made. As he sells only through author
lied and certified agents, those who purchase
his pens may rely upOn getting n genuine and
valuable aricle.-lIhe Observer, New York,
April u, 1867.
