668 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. July 1 



To Our Shippers. 



^* ^5^ f^* i^^ 



About May ist last, we removed our business from the build- 

 ings, I20-I22 W. Broadway, to larger and more commodious quar- 

 ters at Nos. 265-267 Greenwich Street, and 82-84-86 Murray Street, 

 and we duly sent to our friends in the trade a notice of our removal. 

 Shortly after we vaccated the premises, 120-122 W. Broadway, one 

 Joseph M. McCaul, rented a portion of our old quarters, and hung- 

 out a sign, " Hildreth, McCaul Co., Jos. M. McCaul, Prop.," with 

 other large signs to the effect that his business is " Headquarters for 

 honey, beeswax, maple sugar, and maple syrup." 



The mercantile agencies report that Joseph M. McCaul is the 

 sole proprietor of the new business, and that he claims to have paid 

 to one Henry P. Hildreth, who has no connection with our business^ 

 a consideration for the use of his name. 



We will not comment upon the act of leasing our old quarters 

 and exposing thereon the sign, " Hildreth, McCaul Co.," further 

 than to state that we have instructed our attorneys to apply for an 

 injunction restraining the said McCaul from using the name " Hil- 

 dreth " in connection with his business in any manner whatsoever. 



We value highly the good name and business we have estab- 

 lished by many years of satisfactory dealing with our friends in the 

 trade, and we therefore send this notice so that you may not possibly 

 confound us in any manner with the so-called " Hildreth, McCaul 

 Co." 



Our firm name remains as heretofore, and all our business is 

 carried on at our new quarters, Nos. 265-267 Greenwich St., and Nos. 

 82-S4-86 Murray Street, New York. 



Respectfully yours, 



HILDRETH ^ SECELKEN.
