Harbor Uniforms hired Lena to locate fabric for a large hospital-uniform order. Harbor told Lena to keep Harbor's name confidential until the fabric price was locked in because Harbor did not want sellers to raise prices for a large buyer. Acting within the price and quantity limits Harbor gave her, Lena signed a written contract with Mills Textile in her own name for 4,000 yards of fabric. The contract did not mention Harbor and did not say that Mills would deal only with Lena.
Before delivery, Mills learned that Harbor was the real buyer. Market prices then increased, and Mills refused to deliver unless Harbor paid more. Mills also told Lena that, if anyone was liable, it would hold Lena personally liable because Lena signed the contract.
(a) Is Harbor bound by the contract with Mills?
(b) Is Lena personally liable on the contract?
(c) May Harbor enforce the contract against Mills?
