"The important now development in the cotton situation is that the ½
Prime Minister has consented to receive a deputation."--_Manchester

"The history of the development of the ¾eppelin is well-known."--_Daily

From an official notice of the sale of an enemy business:--

"Lot 2. The goodwill of the business of the company attaching to goods
shipped from England to Nigeria, marked with the unregistered or
common-law trade-marks known as 'Eagle on Rocks' and 'Lion and Flag.'"

We are not surprised to hear of the "Eagle on Rocks" when it had the "Lion
and Flag" after it.
