1Opinion of the CourtSmith, J.
1. “When an agent makes a contract for his principal but conceals the fact that he is an agent, contracting as if he were principal, the principal may at any time appear in his true character, and claim all the benefits of the contract from the other contracting party, so far as he can do so without injury to that other by the substitution of himself for his agent.” Woodruff v. McGehee, 30 Ga. 158. See also Spain v. Beach, 52 Ga. 494; Watertown Steam Engine Co. v. Palmer, 84 Ga. 368 (10 S. E. 969, 20 Am. St. R. 368); Dodd Grocery Co. v. Postal Tel. Co., 112 Ga. 685, 688 (37 S. E. 981).
