Supreme Court [?]ins the foot Ease Trade-mark.

Justice Laughlin, in Supreme Court, Buffalo, N. Y.. has ordered a permanent injunction, with costs, and a fait accountins of sales, to issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manufacturer of the foot powder called “Dr. Clark’s Foot Powder,” ana also against a retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them from making or selling the Dr. Clark’s Foot Powder, which is declared, in the decision of the court, an imitation and infringement of “FootEase,”'the powder for tired, tching feet, to shake into your shoes, now so largely advertised and sold ail over the country. Allen S. Olmsted of Le Roy, N. Y., is the owner of the trade-mark “Foot-Ease,” and he is the first individual who ever advertised a foot powder extensively over the country. He will send a sample Free to anyone who will write him for it. The decision in this case upholds his trademark and renders all parties liable who fraudulently attempt to profit by the extensive “Foot-Ease” advertising, in placing upon the market a spurious and similar appearing preparation, labeled and put up in envelopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Similar suits will be brought against others w; vo are now infringing on the FootEase trade-mark and common law rights.
