the company was to furnish al tne
church fixtures. For some reason ne scs
cred his connection with the School ul

claimed that he simply transferred the
order OF the School Furniture Company
to the Seating Company, presumably
representing 10 them that he had received
a bona tde order from the church trus-
tees This was done in the fall and the
Seating Company recently sent the fix
