When the Frigidaire Corpora-
tion initiated its suit three years
ago aginst the General Necessities
Corporation, to restrain it from
manufacturing Absopure refriger-
ators, Mr. Brown was in the midst
of the United Jewish Campaign, to
the completion of which he had
pledged his energies. Faced on
the one hand with the throttling
and possible annihilation of his
business, and on the other with a
tremendous self-assumed respon-
sibility, he decided with character-
iotic resolution to see both things
through. Although the outcome of
the Frigidaire suit concerned all
other manufacturers of electric re-
frigerators, 31r. Brown permitted
them the role of interested specta-
tors and undertook the battle
single-handed, in the meantime,
while his industrial future was at
strike, he nevertheless divided his
time between Detroit and New
York. Ile spent long hours of in-

The suit originally begun by
General Motors Corporation in-
volved seven of the patents used
in the manufacture of electric re-
frigerators, but when the case
came to trial before Federal
Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, at Bay
City, Michigan, all but one of the
infringement claims had been void-
ed. In handing down his decision,
Jeudge Tuttle declared the patent
void, and dismissed the suit. And
when news of the victory reaches!
New York, it found Mr. Brown,
as usual, deeply immersed in plans
to complete the collections of the
United Jewish Campaign and ex-
tend even further the helping hand
of Jewish relief.
