Ur WILLIAM WHAITH. President, Anaoonda leed Produota Company 25 Broadway, Saw Tort. Dear Sirs I wrote you before about GHidden baring registered the word AHACOSBA with the Trade Mark Bureau of national P.0-& V.Assn. I enoloae letter Just received from Ur Joyoe, arguing that, haring made the registration, he does not like now to oanoel it outright beoause it might lead someone to think he had stopped distributing Anaconda lead, but offering to have his registration transferred to ns. Of course, 1 do not want to keep pestering him with small technicalities. If they are not aeoeaaary, but it appears to me that allowing hie registration to stand and he to transfer it to us, may imply that he did hare some property right is the brand, and that therefore we ought to hare him oanoel that registration, in order to deny any such implication. Bo net you think It might bo a good plan to aek Colonel Shores or Ur Wolff about this? If they think hie transfer of the registration to us will suffice. 1 shall be only too glad to let it go at that. Tours very truly. JlSowdyiJ1 Ena PNYC00001746
