sometime and become well and fav-
orably known in the lower part of
the county.
The evergreen gathering bust
ness has been a widely scattered

During the early days of the New

difficulty, both financially and be-
cause Of the efforts of rival COM
panies to infringe upon its patents.
Not only did Mr.. Moore protect the
articles which New Departure made,
but also permitted the company to
bolster its resources by licensing
other concerns to manufacture goods
under these patents.
On one notable occasion, German
competitors abroad had filed petit
ton to invalidate New Departure's s
coaster brake patents because OF
failure to work" them. The Ger
