WHEN the thrilling second act Of the best show
of the year has just come to an end. And the
stars have taken their curtain calls in answer to
round after round of applause. When you join
the crowds outside just as pleased and thrilled
as yourself-hdve a Came!
For no other friend is SO cheerful, so resting
between acts as Camel. Camel adds its own
romantic glamour to the brightness of mem
orable occasions. No other cigarette ever made
and kept-sO many friends. Canaels never
tire your taste no matter how literally or zest-
fully you smoke them. Camels never leave
cigaretty after-taste. All the desire to please, all
the skill to serve of the largest tobacco Organi-
zation in the world, goes into this one cigarette
So when you leave the theatre pleased and
inspired for greater things, when you see ife's
problems and their solutions clearer-lift the
flame and taste the mcllowest smoke that ever
came from cigarette.

MILLIONS SAVED BY "sALT
WATER TAFFY" RULING

ATLANTIC CITY, April g.
With millions at stake in royalties
and the future Of their industry In
jeopardy, approximately 500 candy
manufacturers in this country,
chiefly along the Atlantic seaboard,
have won the right, after months
Of litigation. to continue using the
trademark salt Water Taffy." The
decision was given by the United
States Supreme Court.
The right to exclusive use of the
trademark was claimed by John r.
Edmiston, OF wildwood, N. j., in
1923, who contended he was the
originator and the only one to
manufacture "salt water taffy" for
ten years prior to 1905. His peti.
ton for registration OF the trade.
mark was granted by United States
Patent Office officials.
Edmiston then notified all other
manufacturers Of the CONNECTION to
cease using the trademark and also
served notice that he would collect
royalties on all taffy made since
1895. These royalties would have
run into millions.
The fight for the confectioners
was made by James Brothers, of
this city, beginning in August OF
last year, resulting in a decision
that the term salt Water Taffy''
cannot be registered.
