He has lived a consistent Christian
life, and those who knew him best
tell us that his great accumulation Of
property was not the result of a
desire for wealth, but desire to do
business on large scale. He was
generous his associates and aides on
his many ranches and the loyalty
and love that these have manifested
since his demise is evidence of the
truth of this tribute. His gifts to his
church and other good causes were
unusually liberal, and many of the
institutions of this section Of the
country were partly the result of his
contributions.

Gillette Safety Razor
) Company Wars on
Irnitators

The much litigated patent on
the Gillette safety razor and blade
is again in court, this time furn-
ishing the basis for eight suits
against infringers in New York
and Newark.
OF late there has been a steadi-
ly increasing number of imitation
Gillette razors and blades offered
the public and frequently adver-
tised by cleverly worded signs and
advertisements leading the public
to believe that the infringing goods
are genuine Gillettes.
For several weeks the Gillette
company's investigators have been
busy all over the United States
collecting evidence against the
many infringers and on June "a,
as an opening gun in the campaign,
filed eight suits in the United
States district courts in New York
and Newark.
Warnings and notices to the in
fringers have had no effect, and
the company is therefore determin-
ed to press these suits to a con-
clusion and make the defendants
pay the penalty.
