Sir,
We had occasion to wait upon you on Tuesday last with reference to one of our trade-marks, viz. the "Horseshoe", which is being imitated by Belgian manufacturers, and sent in large quantities to Hong Kong. Seeing that quite recently circulars have been issued asking for information as to why British goods were not in greater demand in the Colonies, and how the trade between Great Britain and its Colonies could be extended, we thought that this matter would be of the greatest possible interest to you, the more so as it is not an isolated case, but one which is frequently coming up. We had further hoped that you would be able to render us some assistance in this matter, seeing that our mark is registered in Great Britain.
Our English Agents, Messrs R.D.Warburg & Co. will communicate with you, with reference to the same matter, and will furnish you with proofs, in the form of documentary evidence, of the injury done, by such practices, to British-manufactured goods.
We must apologize for troubling you upon such a matter, but feel sure that it will be of interest
