FINANCE By Jams« CONTRACTS Agreements entered into between two or more person* to do or not to do a certain thing or things should always be reduced to writing it should also be borne In mind that all coalracts to be blading In law must be supported by a reasonable consid eration. A contract that is not based upon some consideration Is voids hie and may be avoided by any of the parties to It at will. A contract that la not In writing tan oral contract) it supported by a reasonable consideration la just as binding as though it were reduced to writing, if its terms can be proved by competent witnesses To avoid unnecessary unpleasant- neaa. misunderstandings, expensive law suits, and often the destnictkM of the business itself, you should by no means enter into contractual rein lions until all agreements pertaining to the matter have been reduced to writing by a competent attorney. Some contracts to be binding at all must bo reduced to writing. These contracts come within what la known as the Statutes of Frauds. The terms of these statutes vary In the differ ent states, but I think there are some general rules that apply to all of the states alike. These embrace: All contracts for the sale aud purchase of real property, contracts to charge another with the debts or obligations of a third iH'rson and contracts that are not to be performed within one year from the making thereof These must be In writing to be binding In law. There are other provisions that come within the statutes that your at torney will take care of. They need uot therefore be set out here.
