Anderson bought a sound system on display at Burton’s Appliance Store for installation at her dental office. The system was tagged “sold” with Anderson’s 3 name on it, and Anderson signed a form identifying the purchase and stating its price. On her way back to the office, Anderson saw another model in the window of Modern Electronics Ltd. and decided that she would prefer it. She refuses to take the delivery of the sound system from Burton, and Burton sued her for the full price of the machine. Who has the title of the goods? Does Burston’s action prosper?

Spritz labors day and night painting the mural, however when she finally finishes and asks for the recipe, Hecuba laughs and points to an area of the contract which has extremely fine print (only legible to people with magnifying glasses). This incredibly small print says that Spritz must also paint 40 murals of Hecuba all around the city before getting the recipe.

Reed, a manager for XYZ Products, issued company checks to pay his personal debts. So that no one in the company would know what he was doing, he disguised the name of the payees. For example, to pay his American Credit Card bill, he issued the XYZ check to “American.” XYZ Products sued the recipients of the checks, such as American Credit Card, demanding that the funds be returned.
