Example
We are announcing today that we are
bringing the California Milestone and Ever Green brands even closer together.
Effective as of December 5th, 2008, our official name will be:
GREEN MILES WEST
The substitution of “West” in our name-
replacing “California”- is the result of an agreement we reach with California
Gardening Association, following a protest over the original use of
“California” in our name. We hope this does not create any confusion among our
loyal consumers. While this represents a change from our initial name
introduction, it does not change the quality of products we offer to our
consumers.
