Aanvffcctnre of Steel Pen*. ObrtnlqtftlDdtu Welle.' Steel used for making pens reaches the factory in sheets about two feet long by one foot three inohes wide, and 0 001 inch thick. , t They are cnt into bands of different widths, ac cording to the dimension of the pen required, the most nsnal widths being two, two and one-half and three inch es. The bands are then heated in an iron box, and annealed, when they are passed on to the rolls and rednoed to the desired thickness of the fin ished pen, thns being transformed in to ribbons of great delicacy, about four feet long. The blanks are then stamped ont from the ribbons by a punching machine, the tool of which has the form of the pen required. The blanks leave the die at the lower part of the machine, and fall into a draw er, with the points already formed.— They ure then pnnohed with the small hole, which terminates the slit, and prevents it from extending, and after ward raised to a cherry-red heat in sheet-iron boxes. The blanks are then curved between two dies, the concave one fixed, and the convex brought d.ovi, upon it by mechanism. The pens, now finished as regards their form, are hardened by being plunged, hut, into oil, when they are as brittle us glass. After cleansing by being placed in a revolving barrel with saw dust, t hey are tempered in a hollow cylinder of sheet iron, which revolves over « coke fire after the muuucr of u coffee roaster. The cylinder is open at one end, and while it is being turned, a workman throws in twenty- five gross of pons at a time and watch es carefully the effect of the heat on | the color of the pens. When they assume a fine blue tint, be poors the pens into a large metal basin, separating them one from an other, to facilitate the cooling. After this process, which requires great skill and experience, comes the pol ishing, which is effected in recepta cles containing a mixture of fine sand and hydrochloric acid, und made to revolve. This operation lasts twenty- four hours, and gives the pens a steel-gray tint. The und of the pen, between the hole and the point, is then ground with an emery wheel re volving very rapidly. There only now remains to split the pens, which is the most important operation, be ing performed by a kind of shears. The lower blade is fixed, and the up per one comes down with a rapid mo tion, slightly bolow the edge of the fixed blade. To give perfeot smooth ness to the slit, and ut the Bamc time make the pens bright, they are sub jected to the operation of burnishing oy being pluced in u revolving barrel almost entirely filled with boxwood sawdust. {'resented vvltli a Hold ,Hedal. jlerrleu County >'■■■ , H„n.

Tl •it. •! >•, • $. •p- -f No Whiskey! ■ Brown’s Iron Bitters is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not com posed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemper ance by promoting a desire for rum. Brown’s Iron Bitters is guaranteed to be a non intoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time abso lutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxi cating beverages. Rev. G. W. Rice, editor ol the American Christian Rc- ineiu, says of Brown’s Iron Bitters: Gn.,0.,Nov. 16,1881. Gents:—The foolish wast ing of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indul gence of our people, makes your preparation a necessity; and if applied, will save hun dreds who resort to saloons for temporary recuperation. Brown’s Iron Bitters has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness, weakness, debil ity, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption, liver complaints, kidney troubles, &c., and it never fails to render speedy and permanent relief INTENSE HE A T DRUG BUSINESS, CORNER NEWCASTLE k GLOUCESTER STS., Brunswick, Georgia, EXTENDS TO THE POMJO|AN|INV1TAT10N TO EXAMINED FULI, AND COMPLETE STOCK OF DIMS, OHMMI0ALS, Proprietary and Domestic Supplies, such as DYE STUFFS, Paints, Oils, Glass, Putty, TOILET 0-00X0 3, Etc,, Landreth’s Fresh and Reliable Garden Seed.
