Makers of “Golden Wheel” Lighters

File Patent Infringement Suit at Chicago

Chicago, Sept. 10.—A suit alleging infringement and unfair competition has been filed by Henry Lederer & Bro., Inc., manufacturing jewelers of Providence, R. L, makers of the “Golden Wheel” lighter, against Ivan Ries & Co., 131 W. Lake St., Chicago, in the United States District Court of Chicago.

Henry Lederer & Bro., who have been manufacturing these lighters for some time, are asking for an injunction against the continued manufacture and sale of a pocket lighter which the Providence firm contends is a direct infringement of its rights as granted by U. S. Letters Patent No. 1,637,855. A complete accounting of sales is asked of the defendants, and demand is made for restitution for damages to the business of Henry Lederer & Bro., which are in excess of $5,000.

Henry Lederer & Bro. announce to the trade that they intend to protect their rights as granted under their patent, and will prosecute all infringers to the fullest possible extent.
