THE BP.ST PENS IN THE WORLD.
WHO MAKES TIE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLD OPENS!

GOLD PENs-GOOD WRlTING.-To person
whose employment consists chiefly in writing
whether as author, preacher, editor, teacher,
accountant, or clerk-there is nothing connected
with his vocation that can possibly arrd6y him
more than bad pen. We have. beard bank
officers and Others frequently d6plore, with dis
appointed look and tone, the uncertainty and
Consequent annoyance to which the very best
of steel pens frequently subject them. And
many times, also, in selecting gold pens, they
fare not much better in reaching that point OF
satisfaction which case and smoothness OF
writing with q good pen IS certain TO allord'
There are numerous varieties OF gold pens III tlle
market, and some of them very fair and pleas
ant TO use for a short time, but II frequently
written with, they become disordered or ont oil
trim, and after many vexatiOus trials, have at
| last TO be thrown away, and new ana un-
| tried make of pen" substituted. And so the
difficulty runs on until the writer becomes DIS
gusted with even gold pens, and returns again
TO the next best make Of steel pens.
| Recently, however, the inventive genius or q
practical mind has been employed in the pro-
| duction of such machinery as will make gold
! pen entirety free from all the ordinary objec-
| tiens, and ut lower rates than heretofore. NOR
TON of No. 25 Maiden-lane, New-York is the
master spirit of this revolution in the art Oh
| cold pen making, and from his manufactory,
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 Morton's, and he is enjoying q reputation
sueh as no other manufacturer ever hoped to
reach hstoFe! = ;'i-
we MAKE this special reference TO the supe-
riority of Mortons gold pens over all others,
because we have pcrsopally heard the frequent
| complaints of our friends and others, that they
! could not obtain good pen anywhere We
wish to remove such impression from theu
minds, and TO strongly recommend them 10 ~
one Of Mortons make. We have labored under
! the same difficulties they have, and, at last,
throwing aside all other gold pens, are now using
| one of Mortops, and find il so far above all our
! expectations and ideas of the perfection to
| which he had brought them, that we could not
\ be induced TO part with the one we are now
! using for any consideration of money II we
| could not replace il again.
Tho manufacturer is an honorable, honest,
! truthful man, and win not misrepresent his
! pens. nor take advantage of distant customers.
| Any one sending 10 him for pen will be certain
/ to receive what they write for, and no mistake
Al they need TO do is TO state fairly the nature
and style of their handwriting; the hardness OF
/ fcxibilty of the pen they desire; its sizo and
number; and they viii be promptly served.
Like many others. we had our misgivings as
TO whether we could procure by mail pen
that would suit as. But we tried the expert
mcDt We stated the nature of our hand; the
| apparent pressure we use upon the pen when
writing; thc angle at which we hold IT. and
upon which point we incline the hand most
while writing and 10y return mail came exactly
the style of pen we would have selected had
we been in the factory searching for one. This
success we attribute to the practical knowledge
of the manufacturer and his thorough acquaint-
| ance with his business.
! We would be pleased to have some of our
| writing friends step into our office and try the
| pen we are now using. We feel that the use
of such pen would be to them what il is to
us--a perfect luxury.--L Wilmington Del) Jour
