• 66 Ill. 71

Syllabus

<p>Contract—exchange of articles—demand, when necessary. Where the plaintiff exchanged a printing press with the defendant for a smaller one, and a safe valued at §300, and there was no time specified for the delivery of the safe, and the plaintiff was to take it at defendant’s place of business where it was kept, it was held, that the plaintiff could not recover the amount payable in such safe, without specifically demanding it of the defendant. Until demand, the defendant could not be in default for not tendering it.</p>
