Description
DREW, Justice. This appeal presents two questions for determination. The first is whether under the facts disclosed by the record the foreign corporation defendant, hereafter called appellee, was ""doing business"" in the State of Florida to the extent which would make it subject to the jurisdiction of the Florida courts. The second question is whether service of process on a person who took orders in his spare time for the products of the foreign corporation, was sufficient to bind the corporation under Section 47.17, Fla.Stats.1951, F.S.A. Section 47.16 thereof also is cited in appellants' brief. But that Section prescribes a mode of substituted service upon the Secretary of State binding upon foreign corporations and others under specified conditions. The service contested here was made upon a person ""As Business Agent"" of defendant; therefore the said Section, 47.16, Fla.Stats.1951, F.S.A., is not applicable to this case.
