Oakland California Towel Co. V. Roland

Defendant appeals from a judgment based upon a written contract, by which plaintiff agreed to rent to defendant a certain number of sheets, towels and similar articles and thereafter launder the same and keep defendant supplied with a specified number of each of the articles. Defendant contracted to rent from plaintiff exclusively all articles so specified, to pay for such rental and laundry service, and also for any damages or shortages based on plaintiff's service records at rates listed in the contract agreement. Plaintiff claims that after it had fully performed the agreed terms and conditions for a period of approximately six months defendant repudiated the contract and prevented further performance. As stated in defendant's opening brief, the judgment included the value of goods not returned, damages for breach of contract, a balance due for services, and attorney's fees.
