VICTORY ASSURED UNCLE SAM

, “Victory is Uncle Sam’s.” The i famous slogan of the government in its conservation program “Food will win the war” may now be summed up in one word, “Victory/’ which is -now .the property of the United States Food Administration by reason of a formal assignment just received by Mr. Hoover. Of all the names suggested in connection with their new nation-wide campaign for the further conservation of wheat flour, being inaugurated this month by the baking industry, that of “Victory” was by far the most popular. Investigation developed, however, that “Victory” was a trade mark of the National Biscuit Company, duly registered in the United States Patent office and in use since 1901, and therefore, its property. President R. E. Tomlinson, of the National Biscuit Company, was appealed to and promptly responded by saying it would be a pleasure to transfer to the Food Administration all right? in this trade mark. The formal assignement has now been received and the thanks of the U. S. Food Administration extendied to the company for its’ patriotic contribution as well as for the publicity assistance being rendered it in food conservation campaign.
