Wo confees however with regret that fraud bes been summitted by several unscrupulous personis, who have imitated our Trade Mark and sucessfully imposed on the public. To put a stop to this nefarious practice, we have applied to the English Auth critice for the Registration of our Trade Mark, which has been granted, the chobowater being recoguised me the guarantee of genuine ters of our own preparation
However frequently they may be detoot ad and punished according to law, thera are always causing imposters ready to decalvo the public, by slightly altering the figuris of the chronometer or by incerting some Chinese charactors or English words on the device, or by using similar charse torn of the night. Chinese trigrams, not in mantion other methods of deception which are too numerous to be detailed.
