PROTECTION ASSURED.
A Decision of the United States Circuit
Court, of Vital interest to House-
keepers.
The action of the United States 011-
cuit Court of Appeals in reversing the
decision of the Circuit Court of the
Northern District of New York in the
case of The N. K. Fairbank Co. Vs.
The R. W. Bell Mfg. Company, for 1n-
fringing by imitation on their “Gold
Dust” Washing Powder package, not
only assures The N K. Fairbank Com-
pany of protection, but also the house.-
keepers of the land. Hereafter thev
will not be annoyed with the spurious
article sailing under the colors of “Gold
Dust Washing Powder. ” -
Judge Lacbmbe in handin 1 down his
decision sounded a warning to imitators
in tersely stated facts which have equal
interests for the housekeepers, man-
ufacturers and business men generally.
He said:
The judge who heard the case in the
Circuit Court was strong: in the convic-
man that there was 1101:: similarity cal-
culated to deceive any buyer of ordino
ary prudence; that there was no danger
of imposition by any simila1ity between
the packages. We are unable to much
1he same conclusion. * "‘ 3 When
it is borne in mind that. articles of this
kind, when once they are generally
known, become associated in the pub-
12c mind with the general appearance
..t' the package which contains them, it
is guite conceivable that a dishonest re-
rail dealer who kept complainant’ s and
defendant’ s packaJes mingled together
on the same shelves, might, easily palm
ofi' the one for the other upon an un-
suSpecting purchaser.
“Business men of culinary acuteness
who wish to establish a distinctive re
putation for their goods with the gener-
al public, certainly do not begm by as-
similatinrr the elements of their design
to those of some one competinw manu-
When they are found doing
this it must be assumed that for some
reason or other they perfer to have
their goods arrayed not 1n a distinctive
dress but in one resembling thei1 com-
petitor’ :1. And when it appeals that
such competitor has expended upwards
of $300, 000 in adverusing his packages,
that reason is not bar d to find
“We have then the case of a manu-
facturer who is careful always to sell its
goods as its own, but who puts them up
in a style of package so similar to that
used by one of its competitors, earlier
in the market, that unscrupulous deal-
ers who purchase from the manufactur-
er in order to sell at retail to consumers
are enabled to delude a large number
of such retail purchasers by palming
ofl' upon 1hem the goods of the manu-
facturer us those of its competitor.
That this is unfair competition seems
apparent, both on reason and author-
1 y. '
Since “Gold Dust” Washing: Powder
has held its own. in every market as the
best cleansing compound made for all
purposes. there has been the necessity
for The N. K. Fairbank Company to
protect themselves and their patrons
from numerous fraudulent imitations,
and though imitation is the tribute paid
to success, in this casethe housekeepers
would be the sufferers if the tribute
were not disdained. 'l‘he Fairbank
“Darky Twins” on the “Gold Dust”
package are as familiar to the average
housewife as the face of the family
clock.
