The most famous trademark in the
world is doomed, according to the as-
sertions of American importers. They
say that German manufacturing firms
are very generally abandoning .tho
.“Ma‘do in Germany" label that has for
decades been used on all German pro-
ducts. and that this action is taken
with the socretcncouragement of the

German government.

The immediate cause Is the dlfilcui
lv of selling goods in hostile markets,
or even getting them safely tnroughn
to ueutr 1i markets, if they are known
to be of German origin. I11 order to
keep their (at tor.’ cs at work and hold
some of thgir loxrlgn trade it is said
that manufacturers are sending their

1 products first to Holland, Bwitrerl 1nd

land Scandinmian countries, and then
having them re shipped with trade
marks ioprescntlng them as mile
there rather than in Germany. Sonic
German firms are oven said to have
bought factoiies in the adjacent nan
lral countries so that they may ship
their goods 1111 re in an incomplrto
state puting the finishing touches on
them in the neutral factories, and ex
porting them as “Made 111 Switzcr
land," “Made in Holland," etc.

The real significance of this expé

be in the secret, is that» the Germans
apparently intend to continue it Whm
the war is over. They known that (let-

encit‘s throughout the world, but even
in many neutral countries of both
hemispheres, there will be such strong

sentiment against Germany that the

er than hilp their sale
