Supreme Lodge v. Zuhlke, 30 Ill. App. 98; Woolf v. City Steamboat Co., 7 M. G. & S. 103; 62 E. C. L. 101.\nIt is common knowledge that the words \u201c.Association,\u201d \u201c Company,\u201d \u201c Works,\u201d preceded by words indicating the kind of business, are used as names of corporations. Instances of \u201c works \u201d so used, are in Link v. Architectural Iron Works, 24 Ill. 551; Perkins, etc., v. Hood, 44 Ill. App. 449; State v. McGrath, 75 Mo. 424.\nUnder the recent decision of the Supreme Court in Hazelton, etc., v. Hazelton, etc., 30 N. E. Rep. 339, the appellants, a copartnership only, could have no property in a name importing a corporation, as a trade-name. This ends the appellants\u2019 case, and it is unnecessary to consider other questions, or to repeat what the Supreme Court said. The decree is affirmed.\nDecree affirmed.\nSiiepakd, J., takes no part in this decision.",
