LARSEN v. FRIIS
507

v. Chesrown 33 Minn. 32, 21 N.W. 846. In the latter case in the syllabus it is stated “If, upon such reasonable trial it does not work satisfactorily, it is not necessary for him to return it, (in the absence of an express agreement to that effect), but it is sufficient if within a reasonable time he notify the person furnishing it in substance that it does not work satisfactorily, and that he declines to accept it.”

It is wholly immaterial whether plaintiff was making much or little profit in the transaction. The important question is: what was the contract? And in the circumstances of this case that.was the question for the jury, under proper instructions by the court, which in this case the court wholly failed to give.
