OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
The trial court awarded Cross-Plaintiff Style-Rite Manufacturing Company judgment against Cross-Defendant Foster Brothers Manufacturing Company based upon a sworn- account in the amount of $2152.22, plus $400.00 attorney’s fees and costs. In our original opinion of January 17, 1980, we reversed and remanded all of said judgment.
Appellee contends in its Motion for Rehearing that said sworn account contained two invoices addressed to Foster Brothers Manufacturing Company totalling $1611.85, and asks this court to affirm the trial court’s judgment in this last-named amount.
We sustain this contention, and accordingly set aside our disposition of this cause as provided for in our original opinion of January 17, 1980, and in lieu thereof hereby enter the following judgment:
The trial court’s judgment in favor of Style-Rite against Foster Brothers for. $2152.22 is hereby modified by awarding Appellee Style-Rite Manufacturing Company judgment against Appellant Foster Brothers Manufacturing Company in the amount of $1611.85, and as modified, said judgment is hereby affirmed.
The judgment in favor of Style-Rite against Foster Brothers for $400.00 attorney’s fees is hereby severed from the main cause, and said portion is hereby reversed and remanded to enable the trial court to award reasonable attorney’s fees to be determined by said court in favor of Style-Rite against Foster Brothers in the light of the modification of the main judgment.
Costs of this appeal are assessed one-half each to Appellant and Appellee.
MODIFIED AND AFFIRMED IN PART, AND REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART.
