To Our Shippers : 





#■ 



We were obliged to notify 3'ou a few weeks ago that one Joseph M. 

 McCaul had leased our old quarters at Nos. 120-122 West Broadway, New 

 York City, and had there started up business under the name "HiLDRETH, 

 McCaul Co., " and had distributed a multitude of circulars so worded as to 

 create the impression that his business was a successor to or a branch of 

 the business of Hildreth & Segelken. 



For the protection of our shippers and ourselves, we at once instruc- 

 ted our attorney to commence action to enjoin the said McCaul from using 

 the name Hildreth in any manner whatsoever in connection with his busi- 

 ness. On the 10th day of July, 1901, Hon. David McAdam, Justice of the @^ 

 "*^ Supreme Court of the State of New York, after a full argument upon the ^^ 

 ■^^ merits, issued a peremptory injunction, of which the following is an ^<- 

 ■^ extract : ^<- 



>^^ ''And it appearing that the plaintiffs have for a long- time been and now are carrying on busi- ^SU- 



*!' ness under the style of ■ Hildreth iv: Segelken.' and that the defendant has recently opened a business ^^ 



-^^ at 12(1 122 West Broadway, in the Borough of Manhattan. City of New York, and is carrying on the ^i^ 



» same under the style of ' Hildreth, McCaul Co.,' and that such act is in violation of the plaintiffs' « 



-*^^ rights, and that the commission or continuance thereof, during the pendency of this action will pro- ^^ 



^^ duce irreparable injury to the plaintiffs : it is J^ 



"*(^ ORDERED that the defendant (Joseph M. McCaul) and each of his agents, servants and em- ^^ 



j>S^ ployees and all other persons acting under his authority and direction be, and he and they are here- ^SL. 



w^ by restrained and enjoined from showing, displa3'ing or otherwise using during the pendency of this ^^ 



)j!^ action ill or upon any papers, devices, sign or signs, or otherwise, in the business conducted by the ^^t- 



^■^ the defendant at No. 120-122 West Broadway, in the Borough of Manhattan. City of New York, or «. 



->^^ elsewhere the name of " Hildreth " separately or conjunctively with any other name, designation or ^^<- 



^^ description." J^ 



■^ ^^ 



V Outside of our desire in our own interests to protect the name which ^ 

 V^ we have built by years of satisfactory dealings with our customers, we t* 



"^tJ hastened to procure this injunction as soon as possible, to prevent our ^^ 



"^^ shippers from being misled into sending their goods to one who would ^' 



->^ make an attempt to gain their trade by such a trick and device. i^^ 



• ... * 



-^^ With thanks for the many expressions of good- will we have received ^v 



j,^ from our shippers concerning this attempt to trade under our name, we ^<. 



-^ are. Sincerely yours, 0^
