All of defendant\u2019s assignments of error are based on exceptions to said rulings. When considered in the context of all the evidence herein, the questions to which defendant objected were permissible on cross-examination as bearing on the credibility of his testimony. Moreover, the testimony elicited thereby was of minimal significance.\nNo error.",

Defendant, answering, admitted it entered into said contract, but asserted the billboard constructed and installed by plaintiffs did not comply in certain particulars with the specifications set forth therein. Appropriate issues were submitted to the jury and answered in favor of plaintiffs. Judgment for plaintiffs in accordance with the verdict was entered. Defendant excepted and appealed. -\nLangston \u2022& Langston for plaintiff appellees.\nEdmundson & Edmundson for defendant appellant."
