George A. Varney, Appellant v. Isaac E. Ditmars, Respondent

Summary

The Court affirmed the dismissal, holding that the alleged promise to pay a fair share of profits was too vague and indefinite to constitute an enforceable contract and that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover the $40‑per‑week salary for the period claimed. A dissent argued the promise could be enforceable and that the plaintiff should receive salary damages.
