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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[s]uch contracts are intended to secure to the purchaser the good will of the business; and, as a guaranty, the vendor agrees not to engage in like business at that place. The courts recognize that in such cases the vendor has received an equivalent to abstain from business at the place where it was formerly conducted. [ 182 Ark. at 891-892 , 33 S.W.2d at 44 .]”
