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 & Segelken. 



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



^ 

 ^ 



fm- 



V ted our attorne}' to commence action to enjoin the said McCaul from using 



Vr the name Hildreth in anv 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 : ^«- 



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



^T ness under the style of ■ Hildreth & Segelken,' and that the defendant has recently opened a business ?* 



♦^^ at 120-122 West Broadwaj', in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and is carrying on the ^V 



"• 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- ^|{^ 



^L duce irreparable injury to the plaintiffs ; it is 



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



<gS ployees and all other persons acting under his authority and direction be. and he and they are here- 



•>jf' 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 



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



^t description." jl^ 



^ ^ . „ m^ 



^ Outside of our desire m 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 ^t 



•^^ 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 ^«- 



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



^ are. Sincerely yours, ^
