GO3D PFNS-GOOD WRIT1NG.-1O person
whose employment consists chiefly in writing
whether "a author, preacher, editor, teacher,
accountant, or clcrk-there is nothing cohhec'eu
with his vocation that can possibly annoy hlm
more than a bad pen. We have heard hank
Officers and Others frequently deplore, with us
appointed look and tone, the uncertainty ana
CONSEQUENT ANNOYANCE to which the very best
of steel pens frequently subject then' Anu
many times. also, in selecting gold pens they
fare not much better in reaching that pOlnt oI
satisfaction which ease and smOothness OF
writing with a good pen is certain to AFFORD
There are numerous varieties of gold pens III the
market. and some of them very fair and pleas
ant TO use for short time, but II frequehtiy
written WITH they become disordered OF Out Vi
trim. and. after many veXatiOus trais, nave aC
last to be thrown away, ana new anu uii
tried make OF pen' substituted. And SO the
difficulty runs on until the writer becomes as
gusted with even gold pens, and returns ae'li
TO the next best make of steel pens


Recently however, the inventive genius OF
practical mind has been employed Ill the pro-
| duction of such machinery as will make gold
men entirety free from all the ordinary obJec-
tions. and at lower rates than heretofore. NOR
TON of No. % Maiden lane, New-1Ork is the
master spirit of this revolution i'll the art OF
gold pen making, and from his mandatory,
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 Mortons, and he is enjoying reputation
! snch as no other manufacturer ever hOped 10
reach before.


We make this special reference to the supe-
riority of Mortens gold pens over all Others
because We have personally heard the frequent
complaints of our friends and others, that they
could not obtain a good pen anywhere We
wish 10 remeve such impression from their
minds, and TO strongly recommend mem 10 Try
one Of Moytons make. We have labored under
the same difficulties they have, and, at Ias''
throwing aside all other gold pens, are now using
one of Morton'S and find it so far above all our
expectatons 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 it again.


The manufacturer is an honorable, honest,
truthful man. and will not misrepresent his
pens. nor take advantage Ofdistant customers.
ANY one sending to him for a pen will be GER
tain to receive what they write for and no
mistake. All they need to do is TO state fairly
the nature and style of their handwriting; the
hardness or fexibility of the pen they desire !;
its size and number; and they will be promptly
| served.


Like many others, we had our msgivings as
to whether we could procure by mail, pen
that would suit us. But we tried the expert
I ment. We stated the nature of our hand; the
apparent pressure we use upon the pen when
writing; the angle at which we hold 1t; and
upon which point we incline the hand most
while writing; and by 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 aud try the


pen we are now using. We feel that the use
; of such pen would he to them what it is to
us-a perfect luxury.-[ Wilmington Del) Jour
