MERIT WILLS

Question of Issue" Is De-
fined in Chancery Court
Decision
$4,000 INVOLVED
IN LITIGATION

An opinion was handed down by
Chancellor wolcott on the bill Of the
Security Trust and Safe Deposit
Company. trustee appointed by the
Chancellor under the last will and
testaments OF Sarah G.. n. Merritt
and Thomas S. Merritt. deceased,
against John ]. Lockwood, Schee
Merritt Lockwood, Mabel Lockwood
Poor. Olive Lockwood whitlock and
Roger Cochran Lockwood. The bill
was for a construction OF the Wills
and instructions to the trustee.
The estate OF Thomas S. Merritt
involved $1,000 and several pieces
OF real estate in Wilmington and
property in Camden, n. j. The es-
tate OF Mrs. Merritt involved about
$4,000.
Sarah died In 1874, devising prop
erty in trust in equal shares for the
beneft OF her three daughters. two
married and one unmarried. The
two married daughters left issue.
The court procedure related solely
20 the share devised to one of the
married daughters, Hannah s. N.
AsUNN NWNNus bg AHt AtAAil oA Tue Will
upon the death of Hannah. the
trustee was to convey her share TO
"her surviving child or children"
with the further provision that "if
one or more OF my daughters should
die. without leaving issue. that the
survivors and survivor shall take the
deceased ones portion subject to any
and all changes have made in favor
Of my said husband or for other pur-
poses"
The estate so devised was origin

verted into personal estate. Hannah

grandchildren contended that by the |

wood on the theory that the interest
OF her husband in the said fund i'm
mediately upon his death became
vested in him as a child of Hannah
S. Lockwood and now that he Is de-
ceased, the said interest is payable
to the representative of his personal
estate and not to his children.
The Chancellor held: THE will
In question seems clearly to indicate
an interest on the testator's part to
break the estate into three equal
parts giving one of such parts TO
each OF his married daughters for
life, with the remainder as to each
share TO her children and to the Is
sue of any deceased child.
THE testator contemplated sew
eral possibilities with the respect TO
the estate given 10 his daughters.
The testator might permit the three
daughters TO sell the land without
prior division or he might permit
them to make amicable partition,
and when so divided sell It or not
sell il. as they chose. or the trustee
could hold the land Individually. As
matter OF fact. the land was sold.
At all events, the trustee came into
possession of fund as the share in
the proceeds TO be held by him un-
der the will in the trust for Han
nah 6. Lockwood for life. Her in
terest was to terminate Upon her
death. After her death, the testator
evidently did not intend that the
fund should be distributed regard
less OF what might then be the event.
But IL Hannah should have a hus-
band and children, the fund continue
to be held by the trustee and the in
come be paid to the husband for the
use OF the children, and II her hus-
band should die after her death,
then the language is to such chill
dren absolutely Of the one-third part
thereof or such part thereof as their
mother would be entitled TO IL liy-
ing etc.
ut will be observed that the chill
dren who are 10 share in the distri-
button are not confined to such as
Hannah. may leave
THE precise question TO be deter
mined is whether Il was the interest
OF the testator 20 create vested re-
malnders inl Hannah's children or
remainders depending
upon their surviving their mother.
The particular alternative that is ac-
tually presented by the facts is the
death OF both married daughters
and their husbands. and the provi-
sion I'm that alternative is that each
share goes to each married daugh-
ter's children, without regard TO
their surviving their mother; that is
10 say. in that alternative the re-
mainders are vested, for when n be-
quest is to one for life and at his
ieath 10 his children, the remainder
vests as soon as the child is born
and will open to let in other children
Is they come into being.
"It therefore follows that Schee
VI. Lockwood had a vested interest
n the remainder in his mothers
'hare. Though he died before HIS
mother, yet his estate shares equally
With his brother. John j., in the dis
rlbution OF the share held in trust

do not sustain the contention, Chan
cellor wolcott sets forth. IAN ex-
animation of these authorities will
disclose that wherever issue has
been cut down to mean children,
was because something appeared in
context of the will disclosing the in
tent of the estator to use the word
In the restricted snse. The aim OF
all construction is. OF course, TO as
certain the intent OF the testator
and IL his language is such as to
Indicate that he gave a word a
meaning out OF the ordinary. the
courts will affectuate the testiment
airy intent by allowing the testator's
manifest definition TO stand. Each
word Will be accorded It's own we'll
recognized meaning, however, un-
less something happens In the con-
text to show Its use In a different
sense. To hold at this late date that
the word issue ordinarily means
children would be overturning de-
cisions long hallowed by time, and
II the spirit which so defied author
ity were to prevail generally. legal
terminology would be thoroughly
unsettled and for the great merit of
certainty which the law prizes so
highly, uncertainty and great con-
fusion would be substituted.
Il am convinced that the con-
tention OF John J. Lockwood is not
sustainable. The limitation to
Hannah's child or children. in view
of the later clause In the will. mdst
he held to mean TO them and to the
issue of such OF them as may have

cordance with the claim OF the chill
dren OF Schee NJ. Lockwood"
The will of Thomas S. Merritt.
who died In 1878. was very volumi-
nous and at times the language was
loose and exceedingly careless. The
provisions of his will are very SINH

that he makes provision whereby

sent OF the trustee. might partition
his real estate. and IL that were

disc and benehting them in many other
ways national advertising is constantly
creating markets for new merchandise
and opening up new channels of trade.
Ii is because America reads adver-
tising that the new idea today so
swiftly supplants the old. Advertising
changes deep-rooted habits. Advertis-
ing creates new desires. Advertising
sets new and better standards. And
all this it does with amazing swiftness
for advertising speaks to millions
simultaneously.

ing the list of products which today
testify to the ability of national adver-
tising to create new merchandise de-
mands.
There is probably no industry today
for which advertising has not blazed
new trails. There is no merchant,
wholesale or RETAIL the scope of whose
business it has not greatly widened.
But the main thing which adver-
tising does for the retailer is.to speed
up his turnover; that's what makes

Making New Markets
With Printers Ink

One of the most striking changes of
the past ten years is that which has
come about in the important business
of housekeeping. In this short time
the broom and the washboard have
vanished from the housewives coat of
arms, and the comic pictures in which
Mary hurls the hatiron at John don't
ring true, as they once did.
Broom, washboard and hatiron have
given way to suction sweeper, electric
washing machine and electric iron. And
Mary doesn't hurl the iron at John any
longer. not simply because it's fastened
to a cord, but because she's taking no
chances with it.
What has brought about this new
and agreeable state of ahairsp Well,
how did Mary happen to buy that new
iron which has proved such boon to
herself-and Johnp She saw it adver-
tised. of course. And the multiplied
