VOLUME XLIIL—NO. 10. BUY XMAS PRESENTS HERE. Great Assortment of Fine Ar ticles Displayed. HOPE OF MANITOWOC MERCHANTS. Promises to be An Unusually Good Season s Trade. CAN DO BETTER HERE THAN ELSEWHERE. Buyers Should Not Go to Milwaukee or Chicago to Get Fleeced by The Sharks. Manitowoc merchants, in all lines, have made extensive preparations for Christmas trade, tilling their respective stores with a choice selection of articles adaptable for Christmas use and Christ mas gifts. In other years it has been a prevailing custom for f. ue people to make their Christmas purchases in Mil waukee or Chicago, entirely ignoring the prima facia fact that they could do much better in this city if they vould leave their orders with any of the mer chants with whom they regularily trade. It will be noted in the advertising columns of The Pilot that the merchants of the city have gone to unusual expense and trouble in getting together an at tractive array of Christmas goods. Tne range of articles displayed from the inex pensive toy to the more expensive brie a brae and art ware includes almost every - thing that is desirable - attractive tod.he ye as well as to the cultivated taste, and seeing that no pains and expense have been spared the merchants reasonably hope that they will secure the entire Christmas trade of this community. This promises to be an unusuallv brisk season for those in the holiday goods trade and it is 10 be hoped that when the cash is counted after Little Christ mas is over no merchant will be disap pointed. WANT TO STOP MALTING COMPANY FROM USING TRADE MARK. The Manitowoc Malting Cos., ha* en tered suit against the Milwaukee Malt ing Cos., for the alleged misuse of a trade mark belonging to the former company. The trademark which denotes the eight-day malt has a figure "8” promi nently displayed in the center of a circle under which is the representation of a ribbon bearing the word “day”. Above this are circled numerous heads of bar ley. The Milwaukee company’s trade mark is nearly identically the same, dif fering in that the figure ••8” is support ed by the figure of a hand. Thus the dissimilarity of the two trademarks is not easily disrernable, and, unless close ly scrutinized, cannot be distinguished. The plaintiff asks that the court en join the defendants from using the sym bol or preparing any article of malt for sale under the representation of the fig ure "8”. The Manitowoc Malting Cos. through its attorneys Erwin and Wheeler, of Milwaukee, asks damages in addition to the restraining injunction, the amount however not being designated.
