Mr. Forrest C.Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kans.

Dear Phog; :

I am answering your letter of November 14th, as Taft Talbot
is now out at Ft Riley.

In reference to the pair of shoes that he gave you to try out
I wish to say that these are made by the Beacon Falls Rubber

Shoe Co. andas we understand it they are not yet in product-
ion on these shoes.

In other words they are endeavoring to give the shoes a
thorough trial before placing them on the market.

However, I have written to their local District Manager for
this territory, in an endeavor to get a pair of these shoes
for you in size 9, for Vance Hall and if they are available,
we will surely send them over to you.

I do not know what the price of the shoes is going to be,
because the Beacon Falls Co. representative advises us that
they have not even yet made a quotation on then.

However, I know that he will be more than pleased to learn
of your comment that the pair tried out by Marvin Sollenberger
seemed to prove excellent.

Will let you know about a pair for Vance Hall as soon as I
hear from Mr.Hill the District Manager.

    

With best personal wishes, remain.
