(815 ILCS 395/3) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 140)
Sec. 3.
If there is any quality mark printed, stamped, or branded on the
article itself, there must also be printed, stamped, or branded on the said
article itself the following mark, to-wit: A trade-mark duly applied for or
registered under the laws of the United States of the manufacture of such
article; except that if such manufacturer has sold or contracted to sell
such article to a jobber, wholesaler, or retail dealer regularly engaged in
the business of buying and selling similar articles, this provision shall
be deemed to be complied with if there is so marked on the said article the
trade-mark duly registered under the laws of the United States of such
jobber, wholesaler, or retail dealer, respectively; and in such event there
may also be marked on the said article itself numerals intended to identify
the article, design, or pattern: Provided, however, that such numerals do
not appear or purport to be a part of the quality mark: Provided further,
that they are not calculated to mislead or deceive anyone into believing
that they are partly of the quality mark.
