The court ordered payment for 98 hampers plus $11 interest, after evidence showed only 54 hampers delivered to a second party.

The Cincinnati Court of Appeals also affirmed a jury verdict for C A Schaefer of Louisville in a March 1921 apple car sale, with counter claims on unfilled 1913 bulk apple orders denied.
