Omaha Steel Works v. Martin

This cause is a consolidation of four actions, each upon a promissory note. The verdicts and judgments were for defendants, respectively. The Omaha Steel Works was the plaintiff in each case, and it brings the four cases, consolidated, here for review.

Each note in question was made and executed by one of the defendants, in the fall of 1920, and delivered to the payee, the Zonta Tire & Rubber Company, a concern which, according to the representations of its agents, intended to engage in the manufacture of automobile tires at Sioux City, Iowa. The business, however, was never established.
