The Florists^ Review 



Januaby 8, 1920. 



and Chas. H. Williams, secretary-treas- 

 urer. 



The Williams Seed Co. occupies a 

 3-story brick building, at 69 to 71 Com- 

 mercial place, in the business center of 

 Norfolk. It anticipates a big spring 

 business. 



WABRANTY BY SAI^SMBN. 



Authorization of Warranty. 



From a decision of the New York Su- 

 preme court, appellate term, in the 

 case of Eichler vs. Kahnweiler, 178 

 New York Supplement, 257, is made the 

 following abstract of legal principles 

 laid down by the court as applying to 

 sales of goods. 



A salesman has no authority to war- 

 rant the quality of goods for which he 

 takes orders, excepting as he may have 

 been expressly authorized by his em- 

 ployer to make such warranty or as such 

 authority can be implied from the fact 

 that it is customary for agents to give 

 a warranty on sales of merchandise of 

 that kind. 



When a buyer of goods makes claim 

 against the seller on the ground that the 

 latter 's salesman made a warranty as 

 to the quality of the goods and that 

 there has been a breach of the warranty, 

 the burden is on the buyer to prove that 

 the warranty was made pursuant to ex- 

 press authority from the seller, or pur- 

 suant to custom, as mentioned in the 

 preceding paragraph. 



Zilmlted Implication. 



But, even though a salesman may 

 have made an unauthorized warranty of 

 goods in order to induce their purchase, 

 the transaction may become binding up- 

 on the seller through failure to repu- 

 diate the warranty on learning of it 

 before delivering the goods. Where, 

 however, no actual knowledge of the 

 making of the warranty is brought home 

 to the seller, the mere delivery of the 

 goods and the acceptance of part of the 

 purchase price is not sufficient to render 

 him liable for the representations of the 

 salesman. 



The mere fact that a buyer may dis- 

 close to the salesman the purpose for 

 which goods are being bought does not 

 create an implied warranty of fitness for 

 that purpose. Where, so far as skill 

 and knowledge of the goods are con- 

 cerned, both buyer and seller are on an 

 equal footing as to ability to judge of 

 the fitness of the merchandise for the 

 purposes for which it is intended, and 

 where there is nothing to show that the 

 buyer has relied upon the seller's su- 

 perior skill and judgment, the courts 

 will imply no warranty. S.
