Where a contract between a car manufacturing company and a broker provided that the former would pay the broker as commission for leasing a certain number of cars the amount for which the cars were leased in excess of a certain amount per month, and the broker procured a lessor who agreed to pay a rental in excess of the amount charged by the company, the broker’s commissions were earned when the cars were leased, and he was entitled to his compensation without regard to whether, the lease was carried out.
