Illinois Supreme Court April 23, 1908 (Bromagin v. City of Bloomington)

Mr. Justice Scott

delivered the opinion of the court:

The bid of the appellees was prepared in haste. Bromagin had the matter of making the bid in mind for some time, but it was not until the day upon which bids must be made that he succeeded in associating any one with him of sufficient financial ability to secure the certified check which was to accompany the bid.
