9, against William Eoss by Charles D. 

 Ross and Alfred S. Chescheir, remain- 

 ing members of the concern, in which 

 they ask for a judgment for $15,000 

 damages and for a restraining order 

 enjoining the defendant from using the 

 name "Will Ross" in connection with 

 the seed business and also from solicit- 

 ing directly or indirectly any of the 

 trade of the Ross Seed Co., which was 

 owned and enjoyed by the Ross Seed 

 Co. on and prior to July 19, 1915, the 

 date of withdrawal of the defendant 

 from the concern. 



It is alleged in the petition that on 

 the date of the dissolution of the part- 

 nership the plaintiffs paid to the de- 

 fendant $35,000 in cash for his interest 

 in the business and for his good will, 

 and agreed further to assume the pay- 

 ment of alimony to Gertrude A. Ross, 

 former wife of William Ross; that in 

 consideration of the written contract 

 the defendant agreed not to use the 

 name of the Ross Seed Co., nor any sim- 

 ilar name which might reasonably be 

 expected to deceive or mislead the pub- 

 lic into the belief that the person using 

 such name is connected with the con- 

 tinuing partners doing business under 

 the name of the Ross Seed Co. It is 

 alleged that the contract has been vio- 

 lated on numerous occasions since it 

 was entered into and the money paid to 

 the defendant, and that unless enjoined 

 the defendant will work great and ir- 

 reparable injury to the plaintiffs, the 

 continuing partners in the business.

D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, have

 START A GARDEN. 



Which do you prefer — the fragrance of flowers, 

 or bottled perfume? Which do you prefer — ripe 

 fruits and vegetables, or the run of a canning 

 factory? In winter, home-grown fruits cannot 

 be available, but why unnecessarily prolong the 

 "spason of cans"? 



How long since you have tasted Peas that were 

 picked the instant they were big enough to eat — 

 too tender to stand transportation? Do you 

 know that, as a rule, the very choicest varieties 

 of fruits and vegetables can never be tinned,

Appearing the week of the canners' 

 convention, it was natural that "Stop 

 Living Out of Cans" should draw fire, 

 especially as Ferry had two salesmen 

 present to solicit canners' orders.
