506 AMERICAN BEE lOURNAL. Aug. s, i90i. 



I ADVERTISEMENT. | 



We were obliged to notify you 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 attorne}^ 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 : 





.j^^ "And it appearing that the plaintiffs have for a long time been and now are carrying on busi- ^!^ 



S; ness under the style of • Hildreth & Segelken,' and that the defendant has recently opened a business tT 



->^^ at 120-122 West Broadway, in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and is carrying on the ^^<- 



jS 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 pendenc.v of this action will pro- ^^^ 



duce irreparable injury to the plaintiffs ; it is ^^ 



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



j^i plojees and all other persons acting under his authority and direction be, and he and they are here- ^Su. 



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



■>j^^ action in or upon any papers, devices, sign or signs, or otherwise, in the business conducted by the ^^ 



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



' »^^ elsewhere the name of " Hildreth " separately or conjunctively with any other name, designation or ^^ 



JL description," 





^ 

 ^ 



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

 we have built by years of satisfactory dealings with our customers, we 

 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. ^<- 



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



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

 ^ are. Sincerely yours, ^ 



f Hildreth & Segelken, 



265-267 Greenwich Street, NEW YORK, N. Y.
