the court ruled that the ad was an offer and that the plaintiff properly accepted it.

Explanation:

Lefkowitz v. Great Minneapolis Surplus Store was an American contract law case that occurred in 1957. In this case the court ruled that the ad was an offer and that the plaintiff properly accepted it. They then enforced the contract because under the applicable standard, it was not apparent that joking was involved in the advertisement of the product.
