    "head_matter": "Lord & Thomas, Appellee, v. Daisy K. Hahn, Executrix, Appellant.\nGen. No. 20,272.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Clarence N. Goodwin, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the March term, 1915.\nAffirmed with judgment here.\nOpinion filed November 15, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Lord & Thomas, a corporation, plaintiff, against Daisy K. Hahn, executrix of the will and estate of Harry W. Hahn, deceased, defendant, in the Superior Court of Cook county, to recover on a contract with the Sanitary Drinking Cup Company, of which defendant\u2019s testator was secretary and treasurer, and whose contract he guaranteed. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendant appeals.\nThe guaranty is in the following words:\n\u201cChicago, Nov. 15, 1911.\n\u201cLord & Thomas,\n\u201cGentlemen: I guarantee the acct. of the Sanitary Drinking Co. of Ills, to the maximum amount of twenty-five hundred dollars,\u201d and it is signed \u201cHarry W. Hahn.\u201d\nAbstract of the Decision.\nGuaranty, \u00a7 7 \u2014when sufficient consideration shown. Where defendant\u2019s testator voluntarily guaranteed the account of a corporation, of which he was an officer, with another corporation, a sufficient consideration to support the guaranty is shown where it appears that such corporation refused to make the contract unless guaranteed, and executed the contract on the faith of the guaranty, and in such case it is not of controlling importance that the contract was executed before a written guaranty was signed, if executed on the faith of a promise to guaranty it, which promise was later fulfilled.\nIt is not denied that Lord & Thomas declined to enter into the contract with the Drinking Cup Company unless it was guarantied, and Hahn voluntarily offered to be the guarantor, and being secretary and treasurer of the company he was naturally interested in its success, and the scheme of advertising contemplated by the contract was at the time considered to be a means to bring about that end.\nMcEwen, Weissenbach, Shrimski & Melgan and Louis Brandes, for appellant.\nMoses, Rosenthal & Kennedy, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
