Missouri Court of Appeals October 24, 1887 (Southwest Lead & Zinc Co. v. Phœnix Insurance)

Ellison, J.

This action is to recover on a policy of insurance. That portion of the policy under which the insurance is claimed, reads: “Four hundred dollars on their one-story frame building to be occupied by furnaces for smelting zinc.” The building was not yet completed, but permission was given that it might be finished.
