Craig v. Electrolux Corporation

The opinion of the court was delivered by Respondents appeal from a workmen's compensation award in favor of an employee's widow. The principal question on appeal is whether the death of the employee arose out of the employment. Clement Edward Craig, the deceased employee, had been employed by Electrolux Corporation for about two years. He and another employee, Barney Jones, handled commercial accounts which required them to make calls in the evening. In addition to selling the company's product, one of their duties was to collect money from customers who had entered into installment contracts with the company.
