TRADING STAMP WAR
Chancery Asked to Stop a
Company From Making
a Contract.

Assemblyman John DENIM, on behalf
of Michael and Donald Sampler, trading
as the Excelsior Outfitters,p applied to
Vice Chancellor Pitney this morning for
an order compelling Sperry, Hutchinson
& Co. trading as the Jersey City Trading
Stamp Company, to show cause why they
should not be restrained from making a
contract with Bernstein & Co. for the ex-
elusive use of their stamps in this city.
According to the bill and affidavits made
by Mr.. DENIM, 1t appears that on July l,
1so1.-the Samplers entered into contract
with the Sperry-Hutchinson Company
whereby the latter were to print in the
directory of this subscriber the name of
the Samplers and open and maintain a
store in Jersey City for the purpose of re-
deeming these stamps. The Samplers on
their part agreed to give to their cash
purchasers the cornpany's stamps at the
rate of one for every ten cents represented
IN a purchase. It was understood by the
Samplers that they were to be the ex-
elusive users of the stamps in this city.
They charge that they faithfully kept
their part of the agreement and on March
2T last, havingsused UP all the stamps they
mad on hand, applied to the company fer
more, but the company refused to furnish
them with any more and still refuse to do
so.
In their bill the Samplers say they have
learned on reliable information that the
company is about to make : similar con-
tract with Bernstein & Co. whose stores
are directly across the street from your
orators by which contract they will
give exclusive right and use of the stamps
to Bernstein & Co.
The bill then sets forth that the Gus
toners OF the Samplers and the general
public know of these stamps in connection
with the Samplers business. The Vice
Chancellor granted the application
