W. D. Oleson v. Jonas E. Bergwell‪.‬

1. Where the language of a contract is unambiguous there is no room for construction. But where, as in instant case, there are inconsistencies caused by clauses in apparent conflict, the instrument must be construed as a whole to ascertain its real meaning. Absurd and unjust results are to be avoided; and, whenever reasonably possible, it should be so construed as to make it effective rather than to nullify it.
