The case discusses the imposition of a use tax in Indiana on sales transactions that were completed outside of the state. The company, with branches in Indiana, accepted orders and contracts from dealers and retail purchasers who desired to take delivery of goods at its factories in Indiana or elsewhere. Payments were received by the Indiana branches. The court held that the transaction was not affected by the fact that the ultimate destination of the goods may have been known to the seller at the time of the sale, as long as the order or contract was accepted and payment was received within the state. The court also noted that the Act exempted income derived from business conducted in commerce between Indiana and other states or foreign countries, and therefore did not apply to these transactions.
