On Motion for Rehearing.
In overruling appellee’s motion for rehearing, we think it necessary only to add that the record facts do not in our opinion, bring the instant case within the rules: (1) That the place of execution of a contTaet made by an authorized agent, but subject to approval at the home office of a corporation, is the place where the contract is signed (Westinghouse, etc., Mfg. Co. v. Troell, 30 Tex. Civ. App. 200, 70 S. W. 324; Texas Farm Bureau Ass’n v. Lennox [Tex. Civ. App.] 257 S. W. 935; Lummus, etc., Co. v. Mills [Tex. Civ. App.] 233 S. W. 126); (2) that a contract is consummated when an acceptance is mailed, where the contract either expressly (Blake v. Fire Ins. Co., 67 Tex. 160, 2 S. W. 368, 60 Am. Rep. 15) or by necessary implication from the surrounding circumstances (13 C. J. 300, 301, § 116) contemplates that the acceptance should, be so made.
The other points in the motion have been fully discussed in our original opinion.
The motion is overruled.
Overruled.
