On April 11, Fred Chapman discharged Anna Savant, the manager of his store, the Super Electronic Supply Outlet.
On April 12, Chapman called The Barnard Crossings Chronicle and had a notice printed to the effect that Savant no longer worked for Super. On that same day, Savant ordered 12 electronic games, 2 computers, 2 laser printers, a fax machine, and a car stereo from the Global Electronic Components Corporation.
As she had frequently done in the past while acting as manager for Super, she told George Pierce, the owner of Global, to send the bill to Super. Pierce did so. Savant then kept these items for herself. Pierce did not have actual notice of Savant's discharge until April 28, when he saw the notice as he was throwing out some old newspapers.
Savant could not be located, so Pierce brought suit against Chapman and Super. Chapman argued that the newspaper notice was sufficient to warn Pierce not to deal with Savant. How would the court rule? Explain.
