Error to County Court, City and County of Denver; Ira C. Bothgerber, Judge.
Proceedings between the City and County of Denver and the United Cigar Stores Company. Judgment for the latter, and the former brings error.
Affirmed.
James A. Marsh, Thomas H. Gibson, and J. J. Lieberman, all of Denver, for plaintiff in error.
O'Donnell & Graham and George W. Musser, all of Denver, for defendant in error.
James Grafton Rogers, of Denver, amicus curiae.
The case is one involving the validity of an ordinance of the city and county of Denver, prohibiting therein the issuance of trading stamps, profit-sharing coupons, and gifts of like or kindred character in connection with the advertisement and sale of goods. The question has been absolutely, definitely, and conclusively settled, in all of its phases, by the decision of this court in Denver v. Frueauff, 39 Colo. 20, 88 P. 389, 7 L.R.A. (N. S.) 1131, 12 Ann.Cas. 521. That opinion has stood as the law on this subject for this jurisdiction for upwards of 14 years, and no attempt has meanwhile been made by legislation to amend or set aside the laws of our state under which such transactions were by this court upheld and approved. We adhere to that decision.
Judgment affirmed.
