	ONE of the strongest proofs of the great popularity of these Pens, and the undeniable confession of their superiority is, that a number of firms have manufactured, or caused to be made, PENS SIMILAR IN STYLE, for which they claim the same unrivalled perfection of action possessed by the justly CELEBRATED SPENCERIAN PENS. We would, therefore, CAUTION the public against these gross impositions, and state that since July 1st 1871, all boxes containing the genuine Pen have borne a facsimile signature, thus:—
SPENCERIAN PEN CO.,    NEW YORK (Successors). One Gross          Made in England
