General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Federal Trade Commission v. Winsted Hosiery Company No. 333 Argued March 13, 14, 1922 Decided April 24, 1922 258 U.S. 483
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. Findings of fact made by the Federal Trade Commission are conclusive when supported by evidence. P. 491.
2. A manufacturer’s practice of selling underwear and other knit goods made partly of wool but labeled as "natural merino," "natural worsted," "natural wool" and with other like terms taken by a substantial part of the consuming public and sometimes in the retail trade as indicating pure wool fabrics, with the result of misleading part of the public into buying, as all-wool, garments made largely of cotton and of aiding and encouraging misrepresentations by unscrupulous retailers and their salesmen, is an unfair method of competition as against manufacturers of like garments made of wool or wool and cotton, who brand their products truthfully, and is subject to be suppressed under § 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. P. 491.
3. Such a method of competition, inherently unfair, does not cease to be so because competitors become aware of it or because it become so well known to the trade that retailers, as distinguished from consumers, are no longer deceived by it. P 493.
272 F. 957 reversed.
Certiorari to review a decree of the circuit court of appeals setting aside an order of the Federal Trade Commission under § 5 of the Act of September 26, 1914, C. 311, 38 Stat. 719.
