Relevant factsFree
Elder & Johnson (defendant) advertised a "Thursday Only Special" electric sewing machine for $26; when Craft (plaintiff) tendered $26 that Thursday, the company refused to sell her one, and she sued for breach of contract, claiming the advertisement itself was an offer she had accepted. The trial court dismissed her complaint, finding the ad was merely an invitation to negotiate, and Craft appealed.
