1944

“As handicrafts have been replaced by mass production … the close relationship between the producer and consumer of a product has been altered. Manufacturing processes … are ordinarily either inaccessible to or beyond the ken of the general public. The consumer no longer has means or skill enough to investigate for himself the soundness of a product … and his erstwhile vigilance has been lulled by the steady efforts of manufacturers to build up confidence by advertising and marketing devices such as trade- marks.”

Escola v. Coca Cola Bottling Co., 150 P.2d 436 (Traynor, J., concurring)
