THi: ORIGINAL DISCLAIMER? 



We are much interested in reading 

 the article in The Review of October 

 19 on the address of A. L. Stone, presi- 

 dent of the American Seed Analysts' 

 Association, particularly that para- 

 graph referring to "How Old Is the 

 Disclaimer? " We find we published a 

 disclaimer in our catalogue of 1876 

 and we have issued same with slight 

 variations every year since then. The 

 original reading was the following: 



"Whilst we exercise the greatest 

 care to have all seeds pure and relia- 

 ble, it is hereby mutually agreed be- 

 tween ourselves and the purchaser of 

 our seeds, that we do not warrant same, 

 and are not in any respect liable or re- 

 sponsible for seeds sold by us, or for 

 Any loss or damage arising from any 

 failure thereof in any respect"

McCULLOUQH WINS ON ACME. 



It was recorded some time ago that 

 E. W. Conklin & Son, Inc., had brought 

 action against the J. Chas. McCuUough 

 Seed Co., of Cincinnati, for infringe- 

 ment of trade-mark and for unfair com- 

 petition in the use of the word 

 "Acme." The District Court of the 

 United States for the Southern District 

 of Ohio now has passed on the case, 

 finding for the defendant in the follow- 

 ing decision: 



At the close of the argument, the court ex- 

 pressed the <x)lnlon that the defendant's claim 

 of prior use of the word "Acme" and the letters 

 "J. C. McC." In connection therewith upon bags 

 and other receptacles In which timothy seed had 

 been sold by J. Chas. McCullough, whose rights 

 In 1013 were transferred to the defendant, was 

 clearly established. A decree for defendant 

 would have been entered then, but counsel for 

 plaintirr urged earnestly the point that the use 

 by defendant and its predecessor of the word* 

 "Acme" and the Initials of "J. C. McC." was 

 shown by the testimony to indicate merely 

 frade or quality. 



There was much testimony on the part of 

 defendant's witnesses that the word and the 

 Initials did indicate the best quality and grade 

 of timothy seed. If the evidence disclosed noth- 

 ing else than that, the plaintiff would be en- 

 titled to a decree. But it discloses a great deal 

 more. The use of the word "Acme" and the 

 Initials of "J. C. McC." Indicated also source 

 or origin, as well as excellence, and they were 

 known to the trade as indicating both quality 

 and origin. This being so, the plaintifT's case 

 cannot be snoressfully maintained and the bill 

 Will be dismissed at plaintiff's costs. 



The respondent nsed "Acme" and the initials 

 "J. C. McC." for all kinds of grass seeds, while 

 the plaintiff nsed "Acme" and the initials 

 "B. W. C." only as a trade-mark for timothy. 



In view of the conclusion reached on the 

 merits of the case it will not be necessary to 

 decide the question whether or not the allega- 

 tion In the bill that plaintiff nsed "Acme" with 

 the InitiaU "E. W. C." for all kinds of grass 

 seeds, since It Is untrue, would warrant a dis- 

 missal of the bill for that cause.
