An oral promise which constitutes an original obligation of the promisor to pay for merchandise to be furnished on open account is not within the statute of frauds. See Grantz v. Jenkins et al., 73 Okla. 205, 175 P. 527; Mayor v. Bennett, 199 Okla. 579, 189 P.2d 186; Newkumet v. Meyer, 138 Okla. 136, 280 P. 579; Hiner v. Washita Valley Bank, 51 Okla. 606, 152 P. 112; Huls v. Janeway, 42 Okla. 33, 140 P. 419; May v. Roberts, 28 Okla. 619, 115 P. 771; Kesler v. Cheadle, 12 Okla. 489, 72 P. 367; Parsons v. Eisele, 137 Okla. 35, 277 P. 643; and Proctor v. Sisler, 182 Okla. 603, 78 P.2d 802. The verdict of the jury determining that defendant did directly promise to pay for the gasoline and oil to be furnished is based upon competent evidence reasonably supporting the verdict and the judgment based thereon will not be disturbed. The judgment is affirmed.
