Bollman Mercantile Verdict Favors Defendants in Long Case
The Public versus Bollman Mercantile Company ends with a jury verdict for the defendants after a yearlong contest over claims of best values and guaranteed quality. The decision, hailed by both sides as fair, notes Bollman’s value as superior and invites people to see for themselves. The report mixes the case with excerpts from a separate naval diary, detailing midshipman life and travel from January to June, including visits to Port of Spain and San Juan, and an incident of a shipmate nearly drowning aboard the Hartford.
