with the recent movement on the part
of the United States government
against the so called drug trust and
combination of proprietary medicine
manufacturers, citation has been sery.
eg on the DR., b. j. Kendall Co. of
Enosburg Falls, to appear at a session
of the United States court in Indiana
polls June to answer to test case
recently brought by the government.
1t may be that various members OF the
proprietary associations OF America,
will be represented by counsel only,
but il any one goes to represent the
firm, it is likely to be Olin Merrill.
Mr. Merrill may be summoned as
witness.
II is claimed that there is no real
trust, but merely an understanding in
regard to various interests. Certain
contr cts are made with wholesalers,
whereby it is understood that goods
will not be sold to aggressive cutters,
or their brokers, and that no imita
ton or counterfeit shall be sold, and
that the wholesaler and his employees
shall refrain from using their influence
against proprietary goods.
