lished general customs are to be re- 

 garded as entering into the elements of 

 their mutual business contracts w&en 

 not contradictory of the express provi- 

 sions of such agreements. The law on 

 this subject was well summed up re- 

 cently by the Washington Supreme 

 court in the case of Gile vs. Tsutakawa, 

 187 Pacific Reporter, 323, where the 

 court said: 



"The authorities are numerous which 

 recognize the rule that words used in a 

 contract may be shown by parol testi- 

 mony to have a technical or trade mean- 

 ing, provided it be further shown that 

 such meaning is not local, but is gener- 

 ally known to and recognized by the 

 trade. This oral testimony does not 

 tend to vary or contradict the written 

 contract, but merely explains it, so that 

 the court may give the contract the 

 meaning intended by the parties. And 

 the foregoing is the rule even where the 

 words might be given their customary 

 meaning and still leave the contract in- 

 telligible, particularly when all parties 

 to the contract are connected with the 

 trade, for every person connected with 

 the trade is presumed to know the tech- 

 nical meaning of trade words or terms. 



"From these conclusions it should 

 logically follow that one dealing in a 

 business or trade must be conclusively 

 presumed to know and understand the 

 language of such trade or business, 

 when it is shown that such language is 

 generally used and known in the trade, 

 and his ignorance will not protect him, 

 unless knowledge of such ignorance be 

 brought home to the party with whom 

 he is dealing. To hold otherwise would 

 be to condemn long-established customs 

 and make uncertain and unstable con- 

 tracts made in accordance therewith."
