PER CURIAM.
This appeal was heard on the record, briefs and argument of counsel for respective parties;
And it appearing that there was substantial evidence on behalf of the appellee of the cost of 19,798 bushels of ear corn, purchased and then resold by him without shelling by reason of appellant's breach of contract, namely $1.95 per bushel, and the cost to appellee of 15 cents per bushel to shell corn so purchased, and a firm unlimited market sales price of $2.40 per bushel for corn so shelled by him, resulting in a loss of profits in the amount of $5,939.40 resulting from the failure of appellant to deliver the corn sheller purchased by appellee; and also substantial evidence on his behalf of his ability to have purchased, shelled and marketed on the same basis additional corn to utilize the full capacity of the sheller; and also substantial evidence of loss or damage to the good will of appellee's business;
And such lost profits appearing to have been within the contemplation of the parties when the contract was made as the probable result of its breach, and having been shown with a reasonable degree of certainty from the evidence; The Cincinnati Siemens Lungren Gas Illuminating Co. v.
