Allen $. Olmsted, of Le Roy, N. Y, is the inventor and proprietor ot Foot Ease, well-known proprietary article of merit and enjoying large sale all over the world. Mir Olmsted has been a heavy advertiser, and has been able to make trademark of great value. Others have noted this with jealous eye and have sought, by underhand methods and by copying, to steal the benefits to be had from confusing the mind of the public. Mr. Olmsted brought his dishonest com petitors into the Supreme Court of New York State, which recently granted an injunction with costs, restraining the of tenders from making or selling foot pow Ter resembling Aliens Foot Ease in outward form or design or otherwise. The entire advertising fraternity of the United States owes debt of gratitude to Mir.
