Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The elements of the contract, which together indelibly stamp the transactions with the characteristics of 'a bailment for sale, thus may be summarized; (1) The reservation by plaintiff of the title to the property. (2) The absence of any mutual intention that defendant should become the owner of the property at any time or in any event. (31 The obligation of defendant not to pay for the goods as upon a purchase made by him, but only to pay for goods disposed of by him in the course of the relation. (4) The implied obligation of defendant to restore to plaintiff the goods remaining in his hands at the end of the relation. See authorities supra. The conclusion is irresistible that plaintiff, by means of its factors, had established and was conducting in St. Joseph a fixed and stable business for the sale of its wares, and thereby had become a resident foreign corporation.””
