In the Matter of the Claim of JOHN H. EATON, Respondent, against WEBSTER MOTORS OF GLEN FALLS, INC., et al., Appellants. STATE INDUSTRIAL BOARD, Respondent.

The only issue in this case is whether or not the accident arose out of and in the course of claimant's employment.

On February 22, 1941, at 8:45 P.M., he left his residence to go to the employer's place of business for the purpose of closing the same for the day. He reached the driveway of his own premises, slipped and fell on the ice and sustained the injuries resulting in the award. At the time of the accident, claimant was proceeding to his employer's place of business in response to a call. Claimant's duties consisted of selling cars, appraising cars and general supervisor of the show-room. He also was charged with the duty of checking the cash at the end of the closing hours each day.
