Brokers, \u00a7 93 \u2014what are questions for jury in action for commissions. Evidence held sufficient to warrant submission to the jury of the questions whether defendant employed plaintiff as a broker for the sale of defendant\u2019s real estate, whether plaintiff was the procuring cause of the sale involved, and whether plaintiff had abandoned the negotiations commenced by him and defendant had thereafter made the sale, in an action to recover a commission on the sale.\n2. Brokers, \u00a7 92*\u2014what is sufficient proof of value of services. The uncontradicted evidence of plaintiff that he was a real estate broker and had been engaged in that business for eleven or twelve years, and that the usual, reasonable and customary broker\u2019s fee in that place for similar transactions was 5 per cent, of the purchase price, was sufficient proof of the value of plaintiff\u2019s services for which he claimed commissions, in an action to recover commissions.\n. Appeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Harry Olson, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1917.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed December 28, 1917.\nRehearing denied January 10, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by George J.
