 l\ J,.ane, former partner of Andrew 

 Welch in and now owner of the busi- 

 ness of the firm of Welch the Florist. 

 In his decision Judge Keeler points 

 out that when Lane bought out the 

 iiusiness he was forced to pay a large

 name Welch alone the Welches are 

 foming as close to infringing upon the 

 (rade name and trademark of Lane's 

 iiusiness as they can without adopt-

 tials as prominent and in as large type 

 iis the name Welch. — Hartford Post.
