FUBBUABY 17, 1921 



ban!?, of McchaniusburK, on four proin- 

 issorv notes held by the bank. 



Tlie ])etitiou filed by Mr. "Wing re- 

 cited that the conii.any is a going con- 

 cern and is not bankrupt, averring that 

 the assets far exceed the liabilities, but 

 said that if a receiver were not a])- 

 pointed at once, and that if the cog- 

 novit judgment were aUowed to stand, 

 the company would he forced to the 

 wall, as it was unable to raise the neces- 

 sary funds within a short period of 

 time. 



The firm was organized by Charles 

 B. and Willis O. Wing, sons of the late 

 Joseph Wing, famous as the "alfalfa 

 king. ' ' 



COMIC SECTION ADVERTISING. 



Perhaps it seems ridiculous, but it 

 brings results, according to C. R. Root, 

 president and manager of the Colorado 

 Seed Co., in referring to advertising in 

 the comic section of Sunday newspa- 

 pers. Across the bottom of the comic 

 pages of the Denver Post is a space of 

 about two inches, which this firm finds 

 it highly profitable to purchase. His 

 contention is, since all people read the 

 comic section, they cannot but read also 

 an attractive, catchy advertisement at 

 the bottom of the page. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



V. h. Jennings, Elmira, N. Y., finds 

 it profitable, during the apide season, 

 to make a tour among his country pa- 

 trons. By handling the large crop of 

 fruit to mutual advantage, he opens the 

 channel for supplying large quantities 

 of garden and field seeds. 



The Binghamton Seed Co., Bingham 

 ton, N. Y., is well jdeased with the way 

 orders are coming in, according to Man- 

 ager Joyce, who has just returned from 

 a sueessful canvass of the surrounding 

 country. 



I. S. Matthews ' Sons, Binghamton, 

 N. Y., report less call for farm wagons, 

 increasing interest in tractors and sales 

 for field seeds ahead of last season at 

 this time. W. M. 



QUOTING WRONG PRICES. 



When a firm makes a quotation of 

 prices by mail, but through a mistake 

 on its part, or that of one of its em- 

 ployees, a lower ]irice is quoted than 

 intended and the mistake is not discov- 

 ered until after the offer has been con- 

 verted into a contract through accept- 

 ance of it by the addressee, is the agree- 

 ment binding? 



If the mistake is not so apparent as 

 to apprise the addressee that a mistake 

 has been made, the law seems to require 

 a conclusion that the contract cannot 

 be avoided. Thus the saying of Cicero 

 that "any man may commit a mistake, 

 but none but a fool will continue in it" 

 cannot be held to apply to all legal as- 

 pects of a mistake. One may be com- 

 pelled to "continue in it," unless 

 equity ]ilainly demands that he be re- 

 leased from it. But a recent opinion 

 of the West Virginia Supreme Court of 

 Appeals shows that a manifest mistake 

 may be avoided, as indicated in the fol- 

 lowing excerpt: 



"There is no doubt that when an un- 

 equivocal offer is made by one party to 

 another and that offer is in good faith 

 accepted, a contract is formed and both 

 parties are bound thereby, but there is 

 another rule which seems to be equally 

 well established. According to that 

 rule, where the party making the offer
