   Jenkins, J.

1. Where, under a contract of sale or return, it is provided that “this filter and unused disks are to be returned for credit in good condition to the International Filter Co., at Chicago, within thirty-five, days froni this date, if directions for use are followed and the results obtained are not satisfactory,” the return must be made within the time thus expressly limited, and the question of reasonable time doe's not enter. Newburger v. Hoyt, 86 Ga. 508, 514 (12 S. E. 925).

2. A mere notice by the purchaser, given prior to the expiration' of the time limit, that the machine had proved unsatisfactory, and that unless better results could be had it would be returned, can not be taken as a compliance with the terms of the contract. Dickey v. Winston Cigarette Machine Co., 117 Ca. 131 (43 S. E. 493); Malsby v. Young, 104 Ga. 205 (30 S. E. 854).
