   Opinion ’by

Cline, J.

It appeared that the slide rules in question were each •contained in a black paper container or case when imported and that the ■jyords ■“Friedmann Germany” appeared in the center of each of the slide rules but were ■not visible when the slide was closed. Marking in the groove of the slides was held not to be “in a conspicuous place” within the statutory provision. The (protest was (therefore overruled. Polk v. United States (C. D. 52) and Abstract 29289 cited.
