Judge Faris found that the features embodied in Mrs. Donnelly's "Handy Dandy" and "Ney Don" aprons "showed improvement in the 'prior art (of apron making) many ways," and added: "There was no difficulty in reaching the conclusion that the persistent efforts of the defendants (the Lowenbaum Co.) to infringe the patent were tributes to the great advantages of her apron."
