1. ““We are of the opinion that plaintiff’s business and his right to conduct the same constitute property that a court of equity will protect from unlawful interference or injury. The correctness of this proposition has been announced so often and by so many courts that it ought not now to be considered an open question. While it is true a dealer has no such interest in the future trade, that is, in possible customers, as would justify an appeal to a court of equity, to restrain a competitor from doing what is perfectly legal, to advertise and attract customers to his own business, although such conduct may result in a corresponding loss to one engaged in a similar business, yet a competitor may ask for the restraint of acts and conduct prohibited b'y law, that unreasonably interfere with, divert patrons from, and injure his business.””
