"Cook"

One Joseph C. Cooper was, last year, enjoined from doing business in an enterprise which he called "The National Stock, Cotton & Grain Exchange." So he went into the tourist business under the name "Cooks Tour, Inc.," advertised a 34-day tour to Europe on the S. S. Berengaria for $325.* The American manager of Thomas Cook & Son, which has piloted two generations of tourists round the globe, became justly indignant. He obtained a temporary injunction restraining Cooper from doing business under the globe-girdling name. It also developed that Mr. Cooper had become President of an "American Bankers' Corporation," was issuing travelers "A. B. C." checks in imitation of the "A. B. A." checks long issued by the American Bankers' Association.

*An incredibly low price for such a tour.
