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

1. ““Where employment contract contained provision authorizing either party to cancel agreement upon 90 days’ written notice, during which time such agreement should remain in full force, mere dissatisfaction with employee’s services did not authorize employer to discharge employee in a manner other than that provided in the contract.””

2. ““ * * * It provided on its face the remedy of either party desiring to terminate the same prior to the expiration of the five year term. A 90 days’ notice in writing was required during which ‘the agreement shall remain in full force and effect’. There being no showing that further performance of the contract was impossible by reason of death, insanity, illness or other such happening, the cancellation clause requires strict compliance. Further performance after discharge not being permitted by the defendant, and plaintiff having admittedly tendered his services for the full 90 day period agreed to, the plaintiff became entitled, under the express provisions of the .contract, as a matter of law, to the monthly wage for the 90 days following August 28, 1945. 35 Am.Jur. 463, Section 27. The mere dissatisfaction with plaintiff’s services did not alter the cancellation provision. * * * ”.”
