Sales, \u00a7 124 \u2014when reasonable time for delivery a question of fact. In an action by a purchaser to recover the purchase price of goods, where it appears that he had bought them on November 13,1913, the defendant stating that they would be shipped in a week, and that on February 18, 1914, plaintiff informed defendant that if they had not been shipped he did not wish them, the question whether a reasonable time for the delivery had elapsed before the countermand is one of fact.\nThe evidence showed that the goods were purchased at an agreed price of $105 on September 13, 1913, and that defendant stated that they would be shipped to him in Idaho in a week; that plaintiff paid $30 on account; that in November, 1913, or February, 1914, the remainder of the contract price was paid on the representation that the payment was necessary in order to secure from the forwarding company a rate less than the railroad rate; that in reply to plaintiff\u2019s inquiry on February 18,1914, defendant informed him that the goods had been shipped; that plaintiff at the time told the defendant that if they had not been shipped he did not wish them, and was again informed that they had been shipped; that he requested the invoice and was told it had been mislaid; that the goods were not delivered to the forwarding company until February 19, 1914, that on February 19, 1914, defendant, after having asked for the invoice, was told it had been sent to Idaho; that thereafter he found the goods in the possession of the forwarding company and directed that they be not shipped.\nTo reverse a judgment for plaintiff for $105, defendant prosecutes this writ of error.\nBlum & Blum, for plaintiff in error.\nElmer M. Liessmann, for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols.
