Description
[1 N.Y.2d 300 Page 302] For more than 25 years, petitioner has owned and operated a large amusement park, known as Rockaways' Playland, at Rockaway
Beach in Queens County. Well known throughout the metropolitan area, it is patronized by large numbers of people, not only
from within the city of New York and the neighboring counties of Westchester and Nassau, but from the State of New Jersey
as well. A great deal of money -- $100,000 in the past year and over $1,000,000 since its inception -- has been expended by
petitioner in popularizing the park. Its extensive advertising appears in newspapers, on the radio and in train, bus and subway
placards; and in these advertisements, as at the amusement park itself, the name Playland and a large figure of a clown's
head are prominently displayed in combination. According to its claim, Playland is, in the vicinity and surrounding area of
the Rockaways, immediately identified with petitioner's amusement park.
