Protest 988248-G of H. S. Dorf & Co.

Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Cline, J.

It was stipulated that the merchandise consists of kidskins which were contained in bales marked “E-r-y-t-r-h-e-a.” It was found that even by an examination of the standard authorities a purchaser of merchandise having the name “E-r-y-t-r-h-e-a” printed thereon could not tell definitely where it was produced. On the authority of American Burtonizing Co. v. United States (13 Ct. Cust. Appls. 652, T. D. 41489) the protest was overruled.
