Answer:
Gage would Win, since Locke had apparent authority to bind the partnership.
Explanation:
Clearly Gage would win this case. It has been written here in the question that the two people in the business partnership are Locke and vorst. Gage was only contracted to make supply of the stoves. So he does not have any prior knowledge of an agreement neither has he gone off course with an agreement with either of these two.
