Brin ser has been engaged in the m ami fax*- tuire of coromeal in Round Top, this county, and in Miiddletown, since 1879, j amd di»|ios f io!g of his product under the j name of "Brinser's Best Standard | Corn Meal.'' I The elder Brinser contends that his j son, after associating himself with the - Milling company, disclosed the secret 1 process by which the faJther had been manufacturing the jpeal. The plaintiff | also charged that the company pat j terned after h'is design packages in which hie sold the meal and by using the name "Brinser" in large type in the advertisement on the outside of the package led patrons to believe it to bo the same brand of corn meal the plaintiff has been manufacturing. The new concern branded their product as "Brinser's Golden Leader Corn Meal." The court holds that the I sole question in the suit was whether or not the similarity in the packages j was sufficient to deceive the trade. {Judge Kunkel says; "The plaintiff's advertisement on i the corn meal package contains some j doggerel setting forth that the standard I corn meal is the best and praising its peculiar qualities. The defendants' con- I tains some rfi.vming line to like effect, Callefl Unfair Competition "The general rttlo," the court con tinues, "is that anything done by a rival in some business by imitation or otbcrwiso designed or calculated to mis lead the public in the belief that in buying the product offered by him for sale tney were buying the prohict of another manufacturer, is in fraud of that other's rights and will afford just grounds for equitable interference. "We are of the opinion that the ad vertisement adopted by the defendants for placing thoir product upon the market is misleading and calculated to cause it to be mistaken for tb>e product of the plaintiff. The method they have Adopted amounts to unfair competition and the plaintiff is entitled to an in junction." Until six months a.go the plaintiff, Solomon C. Brinser. who now if w«|i up in years, operated hi-s corn meal fac tory in Hound Top. Twice within the last two years the factory was destroy ed by fire and he decided, following the seeoml loss, to move to Mtildletown. He now is doing business in a five-story mill, owned by the Middiletown & Swatara Consolidated Water Company, which is less than a square away from jthe factory of which his Jon is a part, owner.
