A cardinal rule of Interpretation is that words not technical are taken in their ordinary and usual acceptance. Now the letter says nothing in direct terms about the solvency or insolvency of Levy or the investment company. The North Face Sale petition alleges that the statements in the letter, vizthat they were valued customers of the bank, that their business had always been very satisfactory to us, and that we consider them wide-awake business men, were each and all false and known by the bank to be false. It alleges that plaintiff relied on those statements as true, and on the faith of that reliance parted with his money. It is not alleged, otherwise than by indirection, as above, that plaintiff relied on the solvency of Levy or the investment company. Such allegation, If made at all, must be felt out by way of Inference.Recurring to the letter, it says it will be presented by Levy In the interest of the Investment company. The business of that company its interest does not appear. Whether it was on the market as a buyer or a seller, a borrower or an investor is dark; neither the letter nor the petition giving out The North Face Sale any light The drift of the letter agrees as well with the idea that the company as itswith the idea that It wanted to establish for Itself a commercial credit as a borrower. If we turn to Levy, the same situation confronts us. Indeed the face of the letter is Nike Shoes Australia more consonant with the idea that between the Oakley Canada two the company and Levy they had something to sell, and were seeking persons able and willing to buy. But plaintiff does not allege he bought aught from either. If the company was hawking its own stock or securities on the market through Levy as a promoter or agent, as may very well be, then a purchaser would be interested in knowing whether Levy was honest and truthful, or a sharper living by his wit, and whether the company was doing a North Face Coupons straight or crooked business. But this petition fights shy of that issue of fact. Plaintiff was Cheap North Face no purchaser. Moncler Outlet He says he loanedlevy many thousand dollars in cash on the strength of defendant's letter, and lays stress in his petition, not upon honesty, but upon the fact that both Levy and the company were insolvent; that the bank knew that fact when It Issued the letter, and made false representations as to Nike Australia their being valued customers, and having a satisfactory relation with the bank as wide-awake business men. The letter is more remarkable in what it does not say, than In what it does say. Either by accident or design, it, as said, omits a direct statement of solvency. However, a representation may mean solvency without using the word. If a banker certifies that A. Is a valued customer of his bank, does that not mean that he is either a valued depositor or a valued borrower? If valued as a depositor, does that not at least smack of solvency? If valued as a borrower, can a borrower be valued by a bank without the wherewithal to pay? Can the business of valued customers, such as wide-awake business men, be satisfactory to a bank, unless the business men are so wide-awake as to conduct Oakley Sunglasses their business on sound principles, steering clear of bankruptcy? We look on the letter as a roundabout statement of some financial responsibility and solvency.But all that does not touch the very heart of the North Face Coupon matter, as with the point of a needle. The studied and extraordinary vagueness of the letter remains to be further considered. That vagueness Indelibly stamps it on its face as an unstable and insufficient foundation for commercial credit as a borrower of money. There is no hint given by the writer of the extent or line of credit, if any, that should be given the bearer. It invites no loan at all, let alone one of the amount here. It is an unheard of and preposterous affair that a man would loan a stranger , in due course of business, without any usual preliminary Inquiry or security exacted, merely on his faith in the borrower's financial credit, suggested by proof so shadowy and
