HASTIE, Circuit Judge.
The plaintiff and the defendants 1 are competitors in the business of dehairing raw cashmere, the fleece of certain Asiatic goats. The raw fleece is a matted mass of soft down, long coarse guard hairs and various impurities. Dehairing is the process of separating the commercially valuable down from the other constituents of the matted mass.
The plaintiff’s business was conducted in Rhode Island from 1951 until 1962, when it moved its plant to North Carolina. The defendant is a newcomer in cashmere dehairing, having established its plant in Massachusetts in 1962.
