Plaintiff testified that within the time limited he notified defendants that he elected to exercise the option, was ready, able and willing to comply with its terms, and demanded deed. Defendants failing to have deed prepared for delivery, plaintiff offered to have this done, but defendants refused. Plaintiff tendered cashier\u2019s check for the initial payment and demanded deed. Defendants made no objection to the cashier\u2019s check and gave no reason for their refusal to execute deed. Defendants offered no evidence in rebuttal;\nThe defendants\u2019 refusal to comply with their contract relieved plaintiff of the necessity of making further tender or tendering cash, as such tender would have availed nothing.
