Security agreement including as collateral all inventory “owned or hereafter acquired” was applicable to inventory acquired after the agreement was filed. 168 C. 152.

Mere possession of property by debtor does not give him rights in it which he is required to have before it can be collateral in a security transaction. 25 CS 327. Cited. 35 CS 73.
