Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Colorado-based Denver Glass Machinery manufactures equipment for "the professional glass artist." Mesquite-based Paragon Industries likewise manufactures kilns and furnaces for the glass-making and clay-baking enthusiast; has, in fact, since 1948. The two companies could be considered rivals. If nothing else, after Paragon filed suit in Dallas federal court last week, they're certainly legal combatants.
And what, pray tell, brings them to the courtroom? A trademark on the color blue. Seriously. Not kidding. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
