Summary
In Swavely v. Vandegrift, 397 Pa. 281, 154 A.2d 779 (1959), the court held that the shipment of goods into Pennsylvania by a foreign corporation was not sufficient basis for jurisdiction and this holding was reluctantly followed in Cecere v. Ohringer Home Furniture Company, 208 Pa. Super. 138, 220 A.2d 350 (1966).
