Important Trade Name Decision.

Judge Thayer, of the United States Circuit Court at St. Louis, has recently handed down an opinion and granted a perpetual injunction against the defendants in the case of The Hostetter Co. against the Bruggeman Reinert Distilling Co., alias “Gold Spring Distilling Co,’’ prohibiting the advertising, manufacturing or seUing of any article of stomach bitters either hr bulk, by the gallon or otherwise, or in any way making use of the name “Hostetter” except in connection with the sale of the genuine hitters, which are always sold in bottles securely sealed, and also prohibiting the sale of any bitters in bulk, though the name “Hostetter’’ be not used, but the suggestion made to the purchaser that he oan put them in empty Hostetter bottles and purchasers would not discover the difference. His decision supports the Hostetter Company in the extensive use of the name “Hostetter" In connection with either the manufacture or sale of stomach bitters in any manner or form whatsoever, and flrmly establishes its ownership in the same as a “trade name.” - When a young man wants to marry a girl for her money he begins by begging tor assent.
