Example:
We are announcing today that we are bringing the California
Milestone and Ever Green brands even closer together .
Effective as of December 5, 2008, our official name will be :

GREEN MILES WEST

The substitution of WEST in our name replacing
CALIFORNIA is the result of an agreement we reached with
California Gardening Association, following a protest over the
original use of California in our name. We hope that this does
not create any confusion among our loyal consumers. While this
represents a change from our initial name introduction , it does
not change the quality of products we offer to our consumers.
