PLACE OF BUSINES

PLACE OF BUSINESS. The place where a man usually transacts his affairs or 
business. When a man keeps a store, shop, counting room or office, 
independently and distinctly from all other persons, that is deemed his 
place of business 3 and when he usually transacts his business at the 
counting house, office, and the like, occupied and used by another, that 
will also be considered his place of business, if he has no independent 
place of his own. But when he has no particular right to use a place for 
such private purpose, as in an insurance office, in exchange room, banking 
room, a post office, and the like, where persons generally resort, these 
will not be considered as the party's place of business, although he may 
occasionally or transiently transact business there. 2 Pet. R. 121; 10 John. 
501; 11 John. 231; 1 Pet. S. C. R. 582; 16 Pick. 392. 
     2. It is a general rule that a notice of the non-acceptance or non-
payment of a bill, or of the non-payment of a note, may be sent either to 
the domicil or place of business of the person to be affected by such 
notice, and the fact that one is in one town and the other in the other will 
make no difference, and the holder has his election to send to either. A 
notice to partners may be left at the place of business of the firm or of 
any one of the partners. Story on Pr. Notes, Sec. 312.
