Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court February 13, 1933 (Marquandt v. Boston Young Women's Christian Ass'n)

Lummus, J.

Answering an advertisement offering second hand laundry machinery for sale, the plaintiff’s agent went to the defendant’s institution on March 27, 1931, and saw one Todd, the engineer in charge of the operation of the defendant’s laundry. The plaintiff’s agent offered $200 for a mangle and copper soap box. Todd said that he would telephone to find out whether that was all right.
