GOLD PLATED PEN POINTS

Federal Trade Commission Issue Complaints Against Concerns Stamping These Articles So That Word "Plated" Is Covered by the Holder

Washington, D. C, April 8.—Recently the Federal Trade Commission issued a complaint against the C. Howard Hunt Pen Co., of Camden, N. J., and the Turner & Harrison Pen Mfg. Co., of Philadelphia, charging them with unfair competition in the manufacture and sale of gold plated pen points. The Commission's complaint was directed to the alleged practice of selling gold plated pen points stamped "14 karat gold plated," the stamp so arranged that the word "plated" occurs near the heel of the pen point and is obscured by the holder of the pen point into which it is inserted, while the words "14 karat gold" remain visible. This arrangement the Commission claims is apt to mislead the public into the belief that gold plated pen points are 14 karat gold.

The C. Howard Hunt Pen Co. has made answer to the complaint. It admits that within the past four years it has manufactured and sold gold plated pen points, upon which are stamped "14 karat gold plated," the word "plated" occurring near the heel of the pen point, but denies that it inserts, or causes the insertion of, such pen points into any barrel or holder of pen points, or otherwise obscures the word "plated," while the words "14 karat gold" remain visible, and denies that it has so stamped any pen points with the intention or effect of misleading either the trade or the public into the belief that such pen points were 14 karat gold pen points.

The answer avers that the pen points manufactured by the company and so stamped were so stamped at the specific request of the customer to whom they were sold and that in so stamping such pen points the company carried out the specifications of the customers; that the pen points so marked were shipped in packages with the word "plated" clearly appearing thereon. The company further avers that it did not insert such pens in any barrel or holder, nor did it in anywise procure any such insertion. It further avers that neither the customer who purchased the pens so marked, nor the trade, nor the general public were deceived by any act of the company.

The answer also states that the company has not marked any pen points, or sold any pen points so marked, since the year 1918, and that it is not now so marking and does not intend to so mark, any pen points. It therefore prayed that the complaint be dismissed.
