Notes:
Bulletin No. 48. Page 2., Lawyer's brief includes the following in connection with a refusal to register the trade mark, Limestone Brand, a carthartic medicine, because the medicine did not contain limestone: "Ivory is a good trademark for soap and is not made of ivory. Gold Dust washing powder is not made of gold. There is no bull in Bull Durham. Pearline contains no pearls, and White Rock is water. There is no cream in Cream of Tartar, in cold cream or in chocolate, no milk in magnesia, in milkweed or in the cocoanut. These are all as remote from the cow as the cowslip. There is no grape in grapefruit, or bread in breadfruit. A pineapple is neither pine nor apple; a prickly pear is not a pear; an alligator pear is neither a pear nor an alligator, and a sugar plum is not a plum. Apple butter is not butter. All the butter is taken out of buttermilk, and there is none in butternuts, nor in buttercups, and the flies in the dairy are not butterflies."

25 pages., Online via UI e-subscription., Researchers investigated consumer attitudes toward vegetarianism, using two studies involving interviews with vegetarians and meat eaters. Text analysis revealed that "emotionally calibrated consumers were 'moral vegetarians' who find meat repulsive and make ethical food choices." Cognitively calibrated consumers were found to be 'health vegetarians' who "scanned the nutrition information, avoided meat due to health restrictions, and embraced vegetarianism for healthy life." Findings prompted suggestions for promoting vegetarianism.

AGRICOLA IND 91016420, Farm producers attempt to mitigate risk and uncertainty by utilizing accurate and reliable information. This research attempts to identify sources of information used by Ohio fruit producers and then determine which of these sources are best meeting their information needs. Results are based on a logic analysis of Ohio fruit producers and several factors are shown to influence producers' evaluation of the "adequacy" of their marketing information. Among these factors are age, business size, education, type of enterprise, and types of information sources. Reported findings have implications for marketing efficiency, particularly if producers' evaluation of information as adequate is positively related to its efficient use.
