'''Facts''' Defendant became bound to furnish the plaintiff with their entire radiator needs for the year 1899 by written contract. The previous year the plaintiff had 48,000 feet of radiation delivered, but this year they required up to 100,000 feet. The defendant refused to deliver more than the previous years’ amount claiming there was a mutual mistake in framing the contract. This didn’t work, so the defendant claimed that the limitation was implied in the contract. '''Procedural History''' Action to recover damages for the breach of a written executory contract. '''Issues''' Whether a contract that is open to the quantity of goods that one is bound to deliver has an implied limitation. '''Holding''' Judgment affirmed for the plaintiff. '''Reasoning''' Because the plaintiff acted reasonably and in good faith, and the defendant bound the plaintiff to deal exclusively in goods to be ordered from it under the contract, the plaintiff is entitled to such profits as may accrue to him by reason of a favorable contract.
