A CARp.-In 1861 Morton discontinued the

n CARD.-lD 1901 MOTION uJbCOnLluucu jno
discount formerly given TO the JObbng Trade
and. ignoring the services of middle men, has
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 bnt 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
exertiops 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, if not
superior; now since many Retail Dealers Obtain
what little they know of pens AZ well as the pens
themselves entirely from the JobberS, people are
apt to he misled by their representations.
In order that the public may judge correctly
and at the same time sec how mnch pans
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-
ceived his pens through the mails during that
time. and also calls particular attention to the
following letter which has accompanied every
pen sent: ... ~. ,,.,,,.
