WASHINGTON MEDALLION PEN! 



Merchant, Lawyer, Physician, Clergyman, Editor, Author, 

 Mechanic, and Farmer, 



And those who are to fill these professions hereafter SCHOOL CHILDREN you daily have 

 occasion for writing some much, some but little ; but be it much or little, you find it a 

 task. If you would be relieved of much of the annoyance that you now experience in 

 writing, procure the 



WHICH IS THE OJYL.Y STEEL fEJV MANUFACTURED IJV AMERICA. 



The following from the Boston 

 Traveler and Daily News speaks of 

 the quality distinctly enough to 

 make further commendation unne- 

 cessary : 



The WASHINGTON MEDALLION PEN. 

 We wish to call the attention of our 

 readers to this Pen. We have given 

 it a thorough trial, and do not hesi- 

 tate to recommend it as the very 

 best article that we have ever held 

 between our thumb and finger. It 

 is as soft as a quill, and yet suifi- 

 ciently firm, and it makes, when 

 necessary, the finest hair line. It 

 is a satisfaction to work with it; 

 and if our paragraphs are ever in- 

 correct or dull, or our spelling bad, 

 it will not be this Pen's fault. 

 Boston Traveler, Jan. 14. 



WASHINGTON MEDALLION PEN. 

 This favorite and purely American 

 Pen appears to be coming into uni- 

 versal use, and is likely soon to dis- 

 place the foreign article altogether. 

 We have never used a metallic Pen 

 of so much delicacy and elasticity, 

 that runs so smoothly, lasts so long, 

 or front which the writing fluid 

 flows so exactly in the right quantity, 

 as the WASHINGTON MEDALLION. 

 They are now used at most of the 

 Government offices, and the sale, we 

 are pleased to know, it enormously 

 large and increasing. 



The following letter, the original 

 of which we have seen, from one 

 who well understands the use of the 

 pen, is a high commendation.

 Tuesday, Jan. 20, 1857. 

 MY DEAR SIR : Many thanks for 

 the box of Washington Medallion 

 Pens. I find them better than most 

 of the English Pens I have used, 

 and I heartily wish the manufac- 

 turer success. The facts you state 

 are quite interesting, and I shall 

 retain them in my memory. I had 

 not the most remote idea that we 

 paid England $1,000,000 annually 

 for steel pens. 



Yours, very respectfully, 



JAMES BUCHANAN. 

 To THE SECRETARY 



Of the Washington Medallion, 

 Pen Co., 58 Cedar St., N. Y. 



These Pens have been used for 

 more than a year in the Smith- 

 sonian Institution, and give entire 

 satisfaction.

 to try these PENS, enclose two
