 OF THERMos BOTTLES
Suit Started Against Albany Dealers
 in Rival Bottle.

 The American Thermos Bottle conn pany, through its patent counsel, Robert B. Killgore. of 15 Wall street, New York, has instituted suit against William H. Sample & Sons of Albany, N. Y, wholesalers and retailers of the Icy-Hot bottle. on the ground that the latter bottle is an infringement upon the patents covering the Thermos bot tie, which patents are owned by. the American Thermos Bottle company of Norwich.
 This action, it was stated last week by w. B. Walker, president of the American Thermos Bottle company, on the eve of his departure for Europe, is only the forerunner of a series Of suits to be instituted against all in- fringers in various sections Of the country. Some time ago a suit was brought on one of the minor patents tie and was carried to the United States circuit court of appeals at New York.
 Aside from the legal aspect of this suit, it is interesting because of it's effect upon more than 30,000 dealers throughout the United States, and upon the general public. Should the American Thermos Bottle company De successful in the present suit, it will be in position to immediately stop the sale of all infringing bottles, whether in the hands of the manufacturer or dealer.
