Description
RICHARDSON, Chief Judge. Appellant was sued by a customer for the value of articles left with it to be laundered. Its defense was that its liability was limited to ten times the service charge. Judgment was for the full value of the missing items and the company has appealed. Plaintiff had been an intermittent customer of the laundry company for about eight years. Her dealings were with a branch office where she deposited bundles of clothing and linens, marked with her name and address, in a receptacle provided for that purpose. When she called for and received finished work she paid the company's charges. She testified that she had never been informed by defendant's employees of any limitation of its liability and did not know that one existed; that printed slips were attached to the bundles of finished work, but the only part of the slip she had ever read was that containing her name, the items and charges.
