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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

2. ““It bas long been the rule in this jurisdiction that a mechanic’s lien is purely a creature of statute; that there is no privity of contract between subcontractor and owner; that the former can obtain a lien only by compliance with the statutory provisions; that it is not enough that the claimant has furnished material and filed his lien, but service of notice upon the owner is one of the necessary steps to obtain a lien; and that without such notice a claimant obtains nothing. (See Potter v. Conley, 83 Kan 676, 112 Pac. 608 ; Bridgeport Machine Co. v. McKnab, 136 Kan. 781 , 18 P. 2d 186 ; Jones v. Lustig, 185 Kan. 208 , 341 P. 2d 1018 , D. J. Fair Lumber Co. v. Karlin, 199 Kan. 366 , 430 P. 2d 222 .) . . . ” (p. 368.)”
