Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York November 15, 1904 (Silberman v. Schwarcz)

Fitzgerald, J.

The language in which the intent of the parties is sought to be expressed is exceedingly crude, but the expressed meaning of the writing is nevertheless clear when the instrument as a whole is considered in the light of the rules governing proper interpretation. By the first paragraph appellants agree to hire respondent for a fixed period of time at a fixed rate of wages.
