Argued March 9, 1915
Decided March 22, 1915
236 U.S. 697

ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA

Syllabus

The business of taking in one state orders for portraits made in another state is interstate commerce, and if the original order contemplates an option on the part of the purchaser to have a frame also sent from the other state, the business is one affair, and exempt from imposition of license fee by the state in which the sale is made.

The facts are stated in the opinion.
