The defendant, in answer, denies that plaintiff or its predecessors now use, or have ever used, the word «Tabasco» as a trade - mark or identifying name for sauce, and specially avers that the word «Tabasco» could not and can not be appropriated as a trade - mark, because it is geographical and descriptive; that plaintiff continually acquiesced in the descriptive use of the word «Tabasco,» and never made a bona fide attempt to establish the trade - mark it now asserts; and that any rights that plaintiff may have had in the name as a trade - mark were lost by the patenting of the process and the expiration of such patent.

The fact that defendant has not only dressed his product in imitation of that of the plaintiff, but has, in addition, likewise used plaintiff's trade - mark, gives added reason why the Court should require that hereafter defendant not only discontinue the use of the name «Tabasco,» but that he adopt a new and distinctive bottle and carton, such as will clearly and unmistakably differentiate his sauce from the «Tabasco Pepper Sauce» manufactured by plaintiff.

Not only did defendant adopt the name and imitate the bottles and cartons in use by plaintiff, but at the very beginning, when he started the manufacture and sale of his sauce in competition with the long established business of plaintiff, he printed on his bottle labels a caution to use «only the genuine Evangeline,» thus apparently seeking to create the impression that such «Evangeline» Tabasco Sauce was an old and established brand, against spurious imitations of which the public should be warned.
