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

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 sufii- 

 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 incorrect 

 or dull, or our spelling bad, it will 

 not be this Pen's fault. — Boston 

 Traveler, Jan. 14. 





y 



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 from which the writing fluid 

 flows so exactly in the right quantity, 

 as the Washington Medallion. 

 They are now used at most of the 



Ml 



Government offices, and the sale, we 

 are pleased to know, is 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. -Z>a?7y

Letter from Jas* Buchanan* 



Wheatland, 

 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 manufacturer 

 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 

 i ngland $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 Smithsonian 

 Institution, and give entire satisfac- 

 tion. 



B©°" K you have any curiosity to try these Pens, enclose two 



stamps to the 



No. 58 Cedar street, New York.
