Bar Association) Invitations To Do Business !t A merchant advertises in a newspaper that he will sell cer ain described models of televisions t a stipulated price. A customer isits the merchant’s place of busi tess on the date the newspaper is i •üblished and discovers that the merchant has several of these tele /isions in stock. The merchant is . .sking a price far in excess of the .dvertised price. May the custom r force the merchant to sell at he advertised price or answer in damages for breach of contract? No. Although the merchant in efusing to sell at the advertised trice may not be following a poli- 1 y that builds good will for his tusiness, he is acting within his t egal rights. - Advertisements and trade circu-* ars are not normally treated as )ffers. No contract is formed by he statement of an intending pur chaser that he will take, a specified TAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON. N. C.

The advertise ments are simply invitations to all persons who may read them that the advertiser is ready to receive offers, for the merchandise at the advertised price. The dealer may accept or refuse the offers. The advertisement is a means of bringing the dealer’s merchandise 1 to the notice of the public, and the 1 natural construction is that further, I dealings must be had before legal ' relations result. Future rather than present contractual intent is t manifested; an offer is invited, not' ! made. j i Is a contract made when one or ders merchandise from the cata logue of a mail order house? No. Catalogues containing des criptions of articles for sale at the prices quoted are not offers. In stead, the customer’s order is the offer, for which the further act of acceptance by the merchant is ne neessary. There is no necessary implication that by the sending out of the cata logue the mail order house intends presently to be bound to anyone who sends in an order together with the price. Here, as in the case of advertisements, there is merely an invitation for offers. Goods displayed in show win dows with attached prices are also invitations to do business. They ask for offers which the proposer has a right to accept or reject as he pleases. May an advertiseemnt in a news paper ever be considered as an of fer. Yes. They are, however, the ex ceptions and not the general rule. Examples in which this situation is most often found are advertise ments of rewards for the capture of a criminal, for the winning of prize contests, for the return of a lost article, or the like.

Kolbe says approximately 75 per cent of the crop has already been harvested, and it is now on the way to the consumers. He says an esti mated 1.5 million bushels will be harvested in North Carolina this j year. The major varieties of Gold en Delicious, Red Delicious, Stay man and Rome Beauty, plus other good varieties, are moving to mar ket, according to Kolbe. The estimated apple crop for the entire nation as of October 1 was 95 million bushels. Kolbe says this is 11 per cent less than in 1955 and 10 per cent below the ten year av erage. On the other hand, he adds, . the North Carolina crop average for the same 10 year period is 1.24 million bushels, compared to 1.7 million in 1954 and the 40 thous and bushel short crop in 1955. “Even though the crop in the United States is below average,” says Kolbe, “we in North Carolina are fortunate in having good apples available for eating, pies, sauce, and cider.” “Enjoy them now,” advises* Kolbe. U. S. Farm Income Leading Last Year Farmers received about 17.1 bil lion dollars from marketings ; n the first 8 months of 1956, 2 per cent more than in the corresponding pe riod of 1955. An increase in the volume of marketings so far this year has mote than offset a 2-per cent decline in average prices. Receipts from livestock and pro ducts were approximately 10.4 bil lion dollars, slightly above last year L as larger receipts from milk and eggs more than offset smaller re , ceipts from cattle and hogs. ■ Crop receipts of C.7 billion dol t lars were up 3 per cent from 1955. Receipts from cotton, fruits and vegetables were larger than last year, but receipts from soybeans and tobacco were down. I Cash receipts from farm market ings in August are tentatively esti - mated at 2.6 billion dollars, up only - slightly from August 1955. Re , ceipts from livestock and products - were about 1.4 billion dollars and - crop receipts were 1.2 billion. XiLS CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1966.

Some feel that freedom is the right to do anything that pleases them. They fall from the window and hurt ; themselves. Some feel that free -1 dom gives them the right to cen sure the actions of others. They i get punched on the nose. | John Randolph said, that “the : principle of freedom combined with i mere selfishness will make men | only devils, each trying to be inde | pendent so that lie may fight only | for his own interest”. •I Freedom is difficult to under- stand. Perhaps that is because freedom is not pure. It is mixed with something. True freedom must be mixed with restraint. Free dom restrained by love, kind con sideration and genuine understand ing for our fellowman, never re ceives a bad fall. It never earns ’ a punch on the nose. This is the freedom about which the Apostle Paul wrote.. This freedom can be 1 enjoyed by all. Small Business Loans Boosted To SIOO,OOO Clarence P.
