bc.gold 3,406 #6 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) What ever it is, it's old. U.S. Supreme Court Gibbs & Sterrett Mfg. Co. v. Brucker, 111 U.S. 597 (1884) Gibbs & Sterrett Manufacturing Company v. Brucker Submitted April 25, 1884 Decided May 5, 1884 111 U.S. 597 Syllabus An agreement signed by the maker on Sunday, but not delivered to the other party on that day of the week, is no violation of a statute making it a penal offense to do business on the first day of the week. A contract made on Sunday with an agent of the other party without his knowledge, the agent having no authority to bind his principal, and ratified by the principal on another day of the week and then exchanged, is not void as a violation of a statute making it penal to do business on Sunday. The facts making the case are fully stated in the opinion of the Court. Edited April 27, 2020 by bcgold 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,406 #7 Posted April 27, 2020 Rare piece you have, as the Gibbs Mfg soon declared bankruptcy. . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
