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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The term ‘commercial,’ in its broad sense comprehends all business, while in a narrow sense it includes only those enterprises engaged in buying and selling goods and services. ... In the case of State ex rel. Kansas City Power & Light Co. v. Smith, 342 Mo. 75 , 111 S.W.2d 513 , loc. cit. 515, the court said: ‘The ordinarily accepted use of the phrase “commercial establishment” denotes a place where commodities are exchanged, bought, or sold, * * *.’ When the term ‘commercial’ is limited to the purchase and sale or exchange of goods and commodities, it is said to be used in a narrow and restricted sense. 15 C.J.S. Commercial page 576.””
