1. ““A mere application, or offer to subscribe, carries with it no obligation on the part of the person to whom it is made to grant it. The promoters had not, in this case, in advance of the application, bound themselves to accept it, if and when made. There is no allegation or claim that they had done so. The slip, when returned to Breton and Dreyfous, was not, in itself and by itself, a subscription, but retained its character as an application.” Feitel v. Dreyfous, 117 La. 763 , 42 South. 259 .”
