Itecently we receive a letter from the British American Tulice Company stating that our SAM HEE label somewhat resemble their THREE CASTLES Label and requesting us to modify its appcaranes in order to mark a distinction and prevent pureluasers from making a mistake. Now oar SAM HEE mark has been duly registered with the Government, but since the British American Tobacco Company is of opinion that our SAM HEE label somewhat reserables their THREE CASTLES label, we have no desire to break the friendship on account of such a matter. We are therefore, using the RAVEN and KA-WOO marks to substitute our SAM HEE inark for the time being. Our object is to make the prices cheat, and the goods Sno;
