Show & O P x JOHN R. RAFTER Counselor At Law 8 Bridge Street, October Mr. Val A. Browning, JM. & M.S. Browning Ogden, Utah. Dear Mr. New 4, York 4 1951 Company, Browning: Supplementing my letter of yesterday in reply to your letter of September 24th and its enclosure, regarding the proposed liquidation of the JM. & M.S. Browning Company: FN and other In addition to Schroeder Freres, about customs matters which a new affidavit which should be from FN or I wrote to you yesterday, borne in mind and revised attended affidavits there to are in from three due course. First, when your trademarks have been assigned by the J.M. & M.S. Browning Company to the Browning Arms Company, the assignments should be recorded with the Commissioner of Patents and, when they have been returned to you, certified abstracts of title showing each such assignment should be furnished to the Commissioner of Customs, so that he may notify the customs officers at all ports of entry of the assignment of the trademarks. I shall be glad to attend to this matter with the Commissioner of Patents as well as with the Commissioner of Customs, if you so desire. second, the original commercial invoices, if any, (as well as the consular invoices) should be made out to the Browning Arms Company at St. Louis, Missouri, and should be sent to that company at that address. I make this recommendation, because on each entry at St. Louis a representative of the Browning Arms Company must state under oath that there is no other invoice different from the consular invoice and that, if he learns of any such different invoice, he will immediately bring it to the attention of the Collector of Customs. Therefore, if FN sends you a commercial invoice as well as a consular invoice, the commercial invoice should be available to the Browning Arms Company at St. Louis for com parison with the consular invoice, to make sure that there is no difference between them in any essentials. Of course, a copy of any such commercial invoice may also be sent to the Browning Arms Company at Ogden, Utah, if necessary or desirable. |
