GENTLEMEN In our eighth annual pam
phlet, addressed TO our patrons and t trade
under date of May lst, 1874, we introduced
our new improved light draft gin, under
the name Of Magnolia" and we presented
certificates from many of the best known
planters a!testing its popularity over any
light draft gin in the market--for simplicity
Of construction, freedom from irregularity in
working and economy ofresult.
We had adopted for this new light draft
gin the name and description of "MagnOlia,"
believing las we still beieve) that we were
the first to adopt that designation, and that it
was both an appropriate and lawful trade
mark. We have, however, to our surprise,
discovered that the word Magnolia" with II
somewhat similar device to ours, has been
adopted by the "Gulet gin manufacturing
company" of Louisiana, and that they have
applied for and obtained--upon an tex psrte"
atfidavit-a copyright Tor the same, as their
trade marx.
In this state of things, although it is COM
petent for us to contest the validity VI their
copyright and determine upon evidence which
of us 10 entitled to the priority, we have
preferred to withdraw all claim to both the
name and DEVICE rather than enter into a
litigation. the result of which is 10 provoke
bad blood between manufacturers and con-
fusion and uncertainty among custome s.
We therefore announce TO all concerned that
we withdraw all claim to the use OF the
word Magnolia" or any device derived
therefrom as applicable to cotton gins; and
that we have adopted ne our trade mark for
the new light draft gin the words: "Cot'
ton Bloom" with floral device represent
ing the cotton plant in bud or bloom OF both,
We have taken appropriate steps TO have
both the name and the device copyrighted,
and hereafter our new light draft gin will
be known and sold under that description.
The style, form, parts, workmanship and
superior qualities Of this remarkable gin 10
the planter will remain precisely the same MS
heretofore, the name ana designation only
will be changed.
We shall continue the manufacture OF
"The Steel Brush Gin" which has given such
satisfaction to all who have used 1t, AS here
tofore; and TO meet want which has long
been felt and never before fully met, and We
shall be prepared on large scale TO manu-
iacture the "Cotton Bloom" which Is pro-
nounced by experts to be the best light draft
gin ever invented,
Very respectfully,
THE SANBoRN MACHINE Co.
The above is a brief history If the Cotton
Bloom" highly improved light draft gin,
built under the d. B, Gullett patents by u
very responsible company, who, ms their cir
culsr shows have been manufacturing Gul-
etts gins since 1868, and who own n full in
terest in all the patents that make the Gull
let gin valuable or desirable,
This is the gin that certain dealers, in ig'
norant or INSCRIPTIONS haste, pronounce
fraud.
| am authorized by the manufacturers to
say that the Cotton Bloom" is better than
Gulett's magnolia" both in its work and
construction, which statement fully ell
dJrse
l shall carry full stock of the Cotton
Blooms" as alsb Of the celebrated HAL
gins, feeders and condensers. Am also sole
agent for Coleman Il Reynolds presses
Skinner & Wood, Stearnes, Lane Bodily
and Wattert wn engines, and other standard
machinery, which am offering at popular
prices, Respectfully,
