...store began selling out its $287,000 stock-on-hand at 20% reduction. Mr. Charles thought three weeks would clear the shelves; $7,000 worth of recently-ordered plum pudding worries him not at all. He has a customer for the name, the goodwill, the futures contracts, the trademark and the trucks...
Service de Luxe (Universal). During the regime of benign, gnome-like little "Uncle Carl" Laemmle, corpses were so prevalent in Universal productions that they became practically the company's trademark, and every sound stage on the lot was a makeshift torture chamber.

But "nobody," she says, "pays any attention to law any more...

The big, right-handed pitcher, who had been a trademark for the St. Louis Cardinals ever since 1934, when his bumptious performances on & off the ball field made him a national clown-hero, the pampered super-pitcher who could not be bought for less than $400,000-this paladin of sport had been traded to the Chicago Cubs for three ordinary players (Pitchers Curt Davis & Clyde Shoun. Outfielder George Stainback) and a reported...
