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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When, under such a contract, has the agent earned his commissions by finding a purchaser? Is it when the agent himself has found the purchaser, or when the principal has found him through the agent? Is it sufficient that the agent has himself found a person ready and willing to buy, or must he produce that person to his principal? Must he bring the parties together, so that the principal has also found the purchaser? We are clearly of the opinion that he must.””
