PENDANTS called attention to the entire dssiilarity of

White Flake because they expected their product to sell
principally in the northwestern Pacific States, and in
that region brand of fruit known as White Flake was

adve rtsng purposes they decided that it would be
good for their product. They said moreover,
that they had intended any fraud deceit and
had never authorized any retail grocers or merchants
to pass their product off as White Foam.
The court decided that if the defendants wilfuly and
knowingly put it the power of retailers to deceive
their customers they be held responsible and would
