1. ““We think both the pleading and evidence were sufficient to sustain the. conclusion evidently reached by the jury and the trial court that, at the time the contract was signed, or shortly thereafter defendants told plaintiff that they did not know whether they had sufficient equipment and especially a hammer of sufficient ■size to do the work contracted to be performed, and that plaintiff told them that he would buy or rent them a hammer sufficient, if necessary. 'Therefore the assignment is overruled.””
