FATHER WINS IN
CORNIAL FIGHT
Continued Front Flrat Page.
employ of his father, (Salomon C. 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.
