爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok now followed the French models of dresses and millinery to the United States, and soon found that for every genuine Parisian model sold in the large cities at least ten were copies, made in New York shops, but with the labels of the French dressmakers and milliners sewed on them. He followed the labels to their source, and discovered a firm one of whose specialties was the making of these labels bearing the names of the leading French designers. They were manufactured by the gross, and sold in bundles to the retailers. Bok secured a list of the buyers of these labels and found that they represented some of the leading merchants throughout the country. All these facts he published. The retailers now sprang up in arms and denied the charges, but again the denials were in general terms. Bok had the facts and they knew it. These facts were too specific and too convincing to be controverted.

白话
博克接着追踪法国时装和帽子的流向，发现大城市每卖出一件真正的巴黎原版，至少就有十件是纽约作坊仿制的，却缝上法国设计师的标签。他顺藤摸瓜找到一家专门制造这些标签的公司，标签成批生产，成捆卖给零售商。博克拿到买家名单，发现其中不乏全国领先的商家。他把这些事实全部公开。零售商跳起来否认，但同样只是空泛否认。博克手握事实，他们心知肚明，这些事实太具体、太有说服力，无法反驳。
上下文
20世纪初美国商标法和消费者保护尚不完善，假冒巴黎标签是行业潜规则。
今日一问
你买东西时，有没有为“标签”付过冤枉钱？
