Of Interest to Retail 

 Florists 



The long expected decision of Judge 

 Murphy in the case of Knauss vs. 

 Leadley, Detroit, in which the latter 

 sold his flower business to Knauss lie- 

 cause of ill health but reopened just 

 a few weeks after the deal was con- 

 summated and only two blocks from 

 his old location, has been handed 

 down. 



On Oct. 2. 1906, Knauss gave Lead- 

 ley the Ivanhoe flats w^orth $in,000 

 and $1500. in cash for the floral busi- 

 ness. Leadley had shown books to 

 Knauss to prove that the floral busi- 

 ness averaged a profit of $6500 per 

 year. After Knauss took hold the 

 profits dwindled and the business was 

 run at a loss, and Knauss started suit 

 to recover his flats. Judge Murphy's 

 decision is a vigorous one. It reads 

 as follows: 



"In short, without further and 

 wearisome analysis of the testimony, 

 a deliberate swindle has been planned 

 and consummated by the defendant. 

 Indoed his testimony not only brands 

 him as unworthy of belief, but con- 

 victed him of wilful falsiflcation on 

 the stand." 



The Judge says "that the boous 

 were fixed, that expenses were under- 

 stated and profits overstated. Hs 

 points out that since Knauss took hold 

 of the floral business it has improved, 

 and that in the trade back Leadley 

 will get a much better business thau 

 he had before."
