property to the satisfaction of a debt, if the debt be properly proved as pleaded. Naturally there must come a time when that attachment shall ripen into an execution, which execution shall date from the time of the attachment. The attachment is subject to dissolution at the instance of the debtor. If no motion is made to dissolve it, if it is permitted to stand until the final adjudication, it is then too late for any other person in another or independent proceeding to attack or assail its validity. It is clearly too late for the defendant in the original proceeding to attack it.

It must follow that it is likewise too late for third parties in another proceeding to attack it.

The judgment of the court of appeals is reversed and the cause is remanded to the court of appeals for such other and further proceedings in accordance with this judgment and opinion as may be agreeable to law.

Judgment reversed.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF VAN Wert v. HOUTZER ET AL.

Suretyship contract - Construction of terms - Presumption as to intent of parties-Liability upon dissolution of partnershipBank credit.

(No. 15343-Decided May 29, 1917.)

ERROR to the Court of Appeals of Van Wert county.

Mr. H. L. Conn and Mr. Hathaway Kemper, for plaintiff in error.

Mr. H. C. Glenn, for defendants in error.

BY THE COURT. The whole question in this case turns upon the matter and meaning of two certain. suretyship contracts executed by the defendants in error in favor of the plaintiff in error.

The first contract is of the date of October 7, 1896, and the pertinent parts thereof read as follows:

"The condition of the above obligation is such that, whereas, the above named V. H. Houtzer and Son, V. H. Houtzer, W. H. Houtzer is now indebted to said Bank and wishes hereafter to use his credit and create other indebtedness to said Bank by way of renewals and new obligations and said Adaline Houtzer and Lodema Houtzer intends to and does hereby become surety for said V. H. Houtzer & Son, V. H. Houtzer, W. H. Houtzer, and this is to give V. H. Houtzer & Son, V. H. Houtzer, W. H. Houtzer credit at said bank

Opinion Per Curiam.

to the extent of Fifteen Hundred Dollars. Now if the said V. H. Houtzer & Son, V. H. Houtzer, W. H. Houtzer shall pay to said The First Na tional Bank of Van Wert, Ohio, all and any indebtedness and obligations he or either or any of them [italicized words interlined in pen and ink] may owe to said Bank, on notes, now owing, or hereafter given, drafts, checks, accounts,' etc., "and all renewals of any of them and every other indebtedness he or either or any of them [italicized words interlined in pen and ink] may owe to said Bank in any form or character said indebtedness may assume," etc.

This contract is signed V. H. Houtzer & Son, V. H. Houtzer, Adaline Houtzer, W. H. Houtzer, Mrs. Lodema Houtzer, and witnessed by several signatures.

The second suretyship contract is of the date of June 22, 1904, and of similar import, signed by the same parties, and given to the same bank.

The pertinent part thereof is as follows:

"The condition of the above obligation is such that, whereas, the above named V. H. Houtzer & Son, V. H. Houtzer and W. H. Houtzer, is now indebted to said Bank and wishes hereafter to use his, their and its [italicized words interlined in pen and ink] credit and create other indebtedness to said Bank by way of renewals and new obligations and said Adaline Houtzer and Lodema Houtzer intends to and does hereby become surety for said. V. H. Houtzer & Son, V. H. Houtzer and W. H. Houtzer, and this is to give V. H. Houtzer & Son, V. H. Houtzer, W. H. Houtzer credit at said bank

Opinion Per Curiam.

Now if

to the extent of One Thousand Dollars. the said V. H. Houtzer & Son, V. H. Houtzer, W. H. Houtzer shall pay to said The First National Bank of Van Wert, Ohio, all and any indebtedness and obligations he, they and it [italicized words interlined in pen and ink] may owe to said Bank, on notes, now owing, or hereafter given," etc., "and all renewals of any of them and every other indebtedness he, they or it [italicized words interlined in pen and ink] may owe to said Bank in any form or character said indebtedness may assume and in any relation that he may be liable thereon, then this obligation shall be void."

Mortgages were executed to secure the full satisfaction and execution of said suretyship contracts and were signed by the same parties.

The world's business to-day is done by contract and most of those contracts take the form either of some formal writing or informal memorandum.

When the written contract appears on its face to be full and complete and to bear the signatures of all the parties to said contract, the terms and provisions, as written in the bond, must control the rights and obligations of all parties thereto, unless said contract be challenged as contrary to public policy, as having been procured by fraud, or as needing reformation in equity because of some mutual mistake. There is no such challenge appearing on this record, and the only question appearing before this court is, What is the contract between the parties?

If the words and terms of the contract are plain

Opinion Per Curiam.

and clear, there is neither room nor right for any court to attempt construction.

The parties under the issues in this case are presumed to have intended to contract in the manner and form in which they did contract. They are presumed to have intended to have given to the language of the contract the ordinary and usual meaning given to such language.

True, this is a suretyship contract, and the rule has been well established for many years that such shall be strictly construed in favor of the surety. But that does not warrant a court in reading into a contract something that is not there by act of the parties, whether that something be a word, phrase or clause, varying the terms of the contract, or in reading into the contract doubt and ambiguity where the meaning is perfectly clear.

The rule of reason applies to the understanding and application of all contracts. Here we have a business firm dealing with a business bank to obtain the necessary credit to enable said firm to carry on its business, which presumably furnished a livelihood for said firm and the families represented therein, including of course their wives, who became sureties on these bonds. No claim is made that the bank did not advance the money to the partnership, or to one or the other of its members.

The sole question is as to whether or not the sureties are liable for the amount of the bond, which at most would be but a small part payment of the total furnished by the bank to the partnership, or its members, under the bond.
