In the Georg Jensen case it appeared that Georg Jensen and Wendel of Denmark did business with one Lunning in the U. S. A. to establish a market for its silver work. Later Lunning organized the Georg Jensen Handmade Silver, Inc., and registered the letters “Gi” for silver articles. The Danish firm began to sell its silver in the American market, and filed an application on “GJ.” It was in evidence that the letters i and j are used interchangeably in the Danish language. The marks were derived from the name “Georg Jensen.” Confusion would result if the mark of applicant were used concurrently with opposer’s mark. Hence, registration was refused to applicant.
The chairman of excursions, Mrs. J.H.R. Arms, arranged a tour of Fifth Avenue, stopping first at Corning Glass Works which was so interesting it was hard to leave to visit the model apartment in Rockefeller Apartments. This was also interesting and attractive. Luncheon was served at the restaurant and then the group visited the Georg Jensen Handmade Silver, Inc., Miss Kane told of the lifework of Georg Jensen and showed beautiful museum pieces with accessories. The last stop was at W. & J. Sloane's “The House of Years.”
