The words “and such emblems, seals, and badges as have heretofore been used by the Illinois corporation referred to in  in carrying out its program” are omitted as unnecessary. The words “This section does not affect any vested rights” are substituted for “it being distinctly understood, however, that nothing in this chapter shall interfere or conflict with established or vested rights” to eliminate unnecessary words.
