Supreme Court of Alabama.

September 2, 1988.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James C. Pino of Mitchell, Green & Pino, Alabaster, for appellant.

William T. Mills II and Dixie D. Williams of Porterfield, Scholl, Bainbridge, Mims & Harper, Birmingham, for appellee Ingram Equipment, Inc.

Tony S. Hebson of Hebson & Miller, Birmingham, for appellee The Heil Co.


MADDOX, Justice.
