1. ““ ‘Where negotiable paper is made payable at the office of the original payee, an indorsee of such paper may by a course of dealings with the original payee, in relation thereto, induce a reasonable and justifiable belief in the mind of the payer that the original payee had the authority to receive, payment of the paper at the place designated, and, when payment is so made, such payment under the principle of estoppel by conduct will discharge the payer, though at the time the original payee had neither possession of the paper nor express authority to receive payment; the conduct of the indorsee being sufficient to confer ostensible authority on the original payee for that purpose.’ * * * Catlin v. Reed, 141 Okla. 14 , 283 P. 349 , 67 A. L. R. 1910.” z”
