Syllabus

<p>Contract — Evidence.</p> <p>By a contract in writing the defendants James and Charles McGuire agreed to consign all lumber which they manufactured, or that they purchased in the south, to the plaintiffs, who-were constituted the sole agents for that purpose. The defendants agreed to ship, and»the plaintiffs agreed to sell, at least 50,000 feet per week, and this agreement was to continue as long as the defendants trading as the--Lumber Company or under any other name should make, work, or manufacture lumber in the Southern states. In the first part of the agreement the defendants were described as trading as the Tar River Lumber Co. In the other parts before the words “Lumber Company,” there was a blank. In an action for a breach of this contract, it was proper to admit evidence that the defendants organized the Southern Lumber Company, and under its name manufactured lumber and shipped it to other parties from the South.</p>
