Text size

"That no article of imported merchandise which shall copy or simulate
the name of any domestic manufacture, or manufacturer or trader,
or of any manufacturer or trader located in any foreign country
which, by treaty, convention, or law affords similar privileges
to citizens of the United States, or which shall copy or simulate
a trade-mark registered in accordance with the provisions of this
act, or shall bear a name or mark calculated to induce the public
to believe that the article is manufactured in the United States,
or that it is manufactured in any foreign country or locality other
than the country or locality in which it is in fact manufactured,
shall be admitted to entry at any custom-house of the United States;
and, in order to aid the officers of the customs in enforcing this
prohibition, any domestic manufacturer or trader, and any foreign
manufacturer or trader, who is entitled under the provisions of a
treaty, convention, declaration, or agreement, between the United
States and any foreign country to the advantages afforded by law
to citizens of the United States in respect to trade-marks and
commercial names, may require his name and residence, and the name of
the locality in which his goods are manufactured, and a copy of the
certificate of registration of his trade-mark, issued in accordance
with the provisions of this act, to be recorded in books which shall
be kept for this purpose in the Department of the Treasury, under
such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe,
and may furnish to the Department facsimiles of his name, the name
of the locality in which his goods are manufactured, or of his
registered trade-mark; and thereupon the Secretary of the Treasury
shall cause one or more copies of the same to be transmitted to each
collector or other proper officer of customs."

| =Within This Circle= |
| |
| Eighty-five millions of people live within this circle. |
| It is the great battle-ground on which advertising |
| campaigns are won or lost. |
| |
| In this area are 42 cities of 100,000 or more inhabitants, |
| and 167 other cities with populations between |
| 25,000 and 100,000. |
| |
| The J. Walter Thompson Company knows this |
| territory from actual contact with the buying public |
| that lives in it. |
| |
| Our branch offices in the great mercantile centers, |
| as shown on the map, have been established for the |
| purpose of studying at first hand the conditions of |
| distribution and merchandising that must necessarily |
| figure with great weight in any national advertising |
| campaign. We have better facilities for acquiring |
| practical selling information than any other agency in |
| America. |
| |
| Most of the national advertisers in the United |
| States and Canada are within thirty minutes of one |
| of our eight offices. Ninety per cent of national advertisers |
| are within two hundred miles of a J. W. T. |
| office. |
