Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““In the case before the Court now, there is competition in the City of Jackson and the State of Mississippi where appellant operates, in that appellant broadcasts from a radio station in Jackson while appellee broadcasts from a radio station in Shreveport, Louisiana, and both broadcasts afford good reception to the same public. In addition to that, the records and the songs of appel-lee are on sale in Jackson.” 198 Miss, at 671, 23 So.2d at 260 . But, we also said in Cockrell: “While a person may enjoin the unauthorized use of his name in the business of another, the court will not enjoin the use of a name in a locality where no competition exists. Loew’s Boston Theatres Company v. Lowe, 248 Mass. 456 , 143 N. E. 496 , 36 A.L.R. 919 .” (Emphasis added). 198 Miss, at 670, 23 So.2d at 259 .”
