Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>One who purchases merchandise is presumed to act for himself, and is personally liable because credit is given to him. If he would relieve himself of responsibility on the ground that he was acting as the agent of another, he must allege and prove, with reasonable certainty, that at the time of the sale he communicated to the vendor the fact of his agency, and that he was not purchasing for himself but as the agent of another.</p> <p>The rule is more rigidly applied when the alleged principal is a non-resident.</p>
