INTERNATIONAL FILTER CO. V. CONROE GIN, ICE & LIGHT CO.
277 S.W. 631 (1925).
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a damages action for a breach of contract. This was an
appeal from an affirmance of a judgment for Conroe (D) in a breach of contract action.
FACTS: A traveling salesman for International Filter Co. (P) submitted a written proposal
to Conroe Gin, Ice & Light Co.'s (D) to furnish a water softener and filter for $1,230. The
proposal stated that it was submitted for prompt acceptance and would become a contract when
it was accepted by the purchaser and approved by an executive officer of the International
Filter Company, at its office in Chicago. D accepted the proposal and wrote 'Accepted Feb.
10, 1920' and 'Make shipment by March 10.' Engel, the president/vice-president of P,
endorsed the proposal with his signature and an O.K. P then wrote D a letter acknowledging
the order and asked for a water sample so that D could ship the proper apparatus. D revoked
its offer two weeks later. P insisted on performance of the contract and sued. Judgment was
given to D and P appealed. The court of appeals affirmed.
