CAUTION.


We desire to can attention to the fac'
that the Hon. j. J. Jackson, Judge OF the
United States Circuit Court, in and for
the District Of West Virginia, granted
an Injunction at Charleston, West Vir-
ginia, May 9Th, 1897, in which he decided
that our firm has the right to use the
word ''Pocahontas' or "Pocahontas Flat
Tor in connection with coal, the Court
being of the opinion that we have not
only the right to use the word "Poca-
hontas'' for the purpose Of indicating that
our coal comes from the Pocahontas
Field. but also that we have the SOLE
right to use said word as indicating the
character of coal we sell.
In view of said decision the trade is
cautioned against infringing upon said
trademark "Pocahontas" as name fol
designating coal in the sale thereof, and
all invasion or infringements on our eX-
elusive rights will be dealt with according
to law.
