Culbert Tom See Poy testified in 1938 about a contested Tyre sale to Cavallaro. He described deliveries on at least July 1 to 3 and August 7, with Cavallaro insisting on immediate delivery for a trailer project, then rejecting the tyres as unsuitable for his cane transport. The case centers on payment, ownership, and whether the tyres were for farming use or a non farm trailer purpose.

The debtor agreed to take back weights and chains without the witness’s authorization after Benson promised Cavallaro. The goods were not owed by Good Yeas Company, and further evidence was ordered with adjournment to Hinshame for additional testimony.
