The opinion of the court was delivered by

The American Electric Telephone Company brought this action against the Emporia 'Telephone Company to recover upon an account for telephone supplies which the Emporia company had purchased from the American company. The account *65embraced numerous items of debit and credit, extending from September 2, 1905, to April 15, 1908, and the balance claimed to be due was $1293.18. The supplied purchased were selective telephones, said to be ordinary telephones with a selective attachment by which a person on a party line could be called from the central office without ringing the bell of any other person on that party line, and such persons could talk with central or other persons without ringing their bells or disturbing anyone else on the line. The Emporia company alleged and contended that the supplies were sold under a warranty to work satisfactorily on the selective plan mentioned, but that they in fact did not, and that the American company had tried unsuccessfully to correct the defects in the selective attachments and the attachments were therefore worthless. On the trial of the case, which was without a jury, the American company recovered $1192.21, and the Emporia company appeals.

There is little reason to complain of the result. Attached to the first order of appellant for supplies was a memorandum, signed by its manager, that “this equipment to be installed at the expense of the American Electric Telephone Company, on sixty days’ approval. If, at the expiration of sixty days, the equipment fails to give efficient service, the same can be returned, but if the service should prove efficient we agree to accept and pay for the same as above.” Long after the purchase of the telephones there were some complaints made by appellant that they did not work well, but none of them was ever returned to appellee. Instead of returning them appellant sent eleven additional orders for telephones of the same kind, and these orders were sent from time to time during a period o'f fourteen months after the first lot had been received and installed.

There is no room for a contention, and in fact appel*66lant makes no contention, that the memorandum of itself contained an express warranty as to quality or character. Even if there had been a warranty, the sale, according to the memorandum, was conditional, or upon approval after sixty days’ trial. If at the expiration of that time it was found that the equipment did not give efficient service it could be returned, and. if not returned the sale became complete and irrevocable. None of the telephones was returned within sixty days, or at a later time. More than one year afterward additional orders were given, payments, were made without complaint of the equipment, and in correspondence it was stated that appellant intended to pay for all the equipment purchased. Under testimony of this character the finding of the court that appellant was bound to pay for the telephones purchased and retained should occasion no surprise.

It is contended, however, that there was an implied warranty that the equipment was adapted to the special purposes for which it was purchased, and that this, had been broken. The appellee was a manufacturer, but the sales were not made by sample nor were the-telephones manufactured specially for appellant. On the other hand, they appear to have been made in the ordinary course of business of the appellee, for the general trade, and under our decisions the sale did not carry an implied warranty that the articles sold should' meet the purposes or expectation of the buyer. (Lukens v. Freiund, 27 Kan. 664; Ehrsam v. Brown, 76 Kan. 206.)

There was some’ conflict in the evidence as to the-time when complaints were made' of the telephones, purchased, but under the testimony the court was well; warranted in holding that the objections to the telephones were not made in a reasonable time, and, as we-have seen, appellant never returned or offered to return the telephones purchased. The retention of the-*67telephones under the circumstances justified the court in holding that appellant was bound to pay for them at the stipulated price.

The judgment is affirmed.
