Clougher Bros. were unlikely to be the manufacturers of the 'Camden Fountain Pen', probably just distributors.

MABIE, TODD & Co.

180, Broadway, New York, and London, Chicago, Toronto, Paris, Brussels and Manchester


Image
Mabie, Todd & Co. - New York - 1868

The manufacture of Gold Pens is comparatively a modern innovation. Their use in the United States dates back, however, for a period of twenty-five years, when their introduction met and successfully contended with the prejudices common to all new and useful improvements. Too many manufacturers have endeavored to supplant the good old fashioned quill and steel pen by placing upon the Market an article, which, though composed of the more costly material, proves utterly useless in a very short time, and loses even the value it possesses as precious metal until remelted and reformed for some useful and legitimate purpose. The superiority of the Gold Pen over all others, when skillfully and honestly made, is a fact long conceded. The Hon. Daniel Webster once wrote ; “It is indeed the only metallic pen worth using.”

Messrs. Mabie, Todd & Co. manufacture a larger variety, perhaps, than any other house in the country, and have obtained a reputation for the most reliable, durable, and pure goods. Mr. Mabie, the senior partner, with an experience of thirty-five years, is directly connected with the manufactory, and gives the Pencil Case department his entire time and attention.

Of the Gold Pen department, Mr. J. S. Bard, one of the junior partners, has had full charge for the past fifteen years, and an experience of much longer time. Only the most improved and costly machinery and the finest skilled labor are employed by this house, added to which a conscientious adherence to the principles of honor and integrity in all their dealings, renders it a fait accompli that they maintain the foremost position among the manufacturers of Gold Pens and Pencil Cases in the United States.
