case where a minor gave his wages to his father when he was home and to his mother when he was not, and the father testified that he had received at least one of the pay envelopes with the printed notice on it and with that notice in mind let the boy go to work afterwards, was held sufficient to prevent Section II. from governing.

Brost v. Whital-Tatum Co., 89 N. J. L. 531, 99 Atl. 315.

Substantially the same form of notice as that given above in the pay envelopes and posted around the works of an employer was held insufficient in Troth v. Millville Bottle Works, 86 N. J. L. 558, 91 Atl. 1031, 89 N. J. L. 219, 98 Atl. 435. The difference between the cases lies in the fact that in the Brost case it appeared that the father had received the notice while in the Troth case that did not appear.

Termination of the Contract.

10. The contract for the operation of the provisions of Section II. of this act may be terminated by either party upon sixty days' notice in writing prior to any accident.
