Contoh :

We are announcing today that we are bringing the California
Milestone and evergreen 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 the California Gardening Association, following the
protest over the original use of “California” in our name.
We hope 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 company.
