To Our Shippers : 





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 & Segfelken. 



^ 

 ^ 



-2. 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 t* 



V^ the name HiLDRETH in any manner whatsoever in connection with his busi- V 



■*@ 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 ^t 



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



•^ extract : ^«- 



.v^Si ''And It appearing that the plaintiffs have for a long time been and now are carrj'ing on busi- ^i^ 



V*^ ness under the style of ■ Hildreth & Segelken,' and that the defendant has recently opened a business ^^ 



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



» 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 

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



_^^ ployees and all other persons acting under his authority and direction be, and he and they are here- 



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



.^^^ action in or upon any papers, devices, sign or signs, or otherwise, in the business conducted bj' the 



s^ 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." 





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 t' 



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



"^l^ 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. "^f*" 



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



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



^ are. Sincerely yours, ^ 



4 Hildreth & Seqelken, ^ 



"^ 265-267 Greenwich Street, NEW YORK, N. Y. V^
