    The S. S. Kresge Co. v. Constance E. Fader.
    Error to the Court' of Appeals of Cuyahoga County.
    703. LANDLOD AND TENANT. — 915 Personal Injuries—
    1. Duty of owners or lessees is to use ordinary care to prevent injuries to patrons in store, but they are not insurers against all accidents and injuries.
    2. Where, during a rain storm, water blows into front of a store and incoming customers carry in moisture and cause floor to become slippery, no action arises against owner or lessee in favor of a patron who slips on floor and is injured by a fall.
   KINKADE, J.

1. Owners or lessees of stores owe a duty to the patrons of the store to exercise ordinary care to prevent acccident and injury to patrons while in the store, .but they are not insurers against all accidents and injuries to such patrons while in the store.

2. The fact that during a rain-storm some water has blown into the front of a store on account of the opening of the door to admit customers, and the incoming shoppers during such rain-storm carry in moisture on their clothing and feet and umbrellas, and thereby and only thereby cause the floor inside the door and near thereto to become damp and more slippery than is the dry floor in other parts of the store, will not give rise to a cause of action against the owner of lessee of the store in favor of a later incoming patron who slips or falls on such damp floor and is injured by such fall.

Marshall, C. J., Day, Robinson, Jones and Matthias, JJ., concur. Allen, J., concurs in proposition 1 of syllabus, and in the judgment.
