P. Chad Bailey v. Stanley J. Ness

HISTORY Appellant Chad Bailey attended an agricultural fair at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho, where he obtained information regarding Mix-Mill feed mill systems. Because Bailey was interested in obtaining a Mix-Mill feed mill system for use on his dairy farm, he wrote to respondent Mix-Mill inquiring about its product. On June 27, 1980, Mix-Mill wrote a letter to Bailey with numerous enclosed brochures describing Mix-Mill products and referring Bailey to Mr. Stan Ness and Feed-Rite Systems, Inc. for further assistance.[Footnote 1] Bailey called Ness, who ultimately sent Jeff Allen, a salesman for Feed-Rite under Ness's direction.
