The opinion

SMITH, Judge

(concurring).

When considered as wholes in relation to the goods to which they are applied, the marks “Slimaker” and “Slimliner” are sufficiently similar in sound, appearance and meaning that there is a likelihood of confusion as to the origin of the *1019 goods upon which they are applied. The goods are closely related, are sold to the public through the same trade outlets, and are sold to the same classes of purchasers to be used for similar purposes, Under these circumstances, I concur in the result reached by the majority.
