Mr. Henry Ae Shenk

Assistant Professor Of Physical Education
University of Kansas

Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr. Shenk,

Thank you for the nice order mailed in today. Before starting work on it there
is a question or two that we want to aske

It is assumed that the entire order is to be charged to the University of Kansas
Physical Education Corporation. If this is correot, will you kindly have Mr. Fallen-
stien issue the oustomary purchase order. No doubt you have a copy of your order
sent to use It is evident from the items that you are ordering that it is not to be
charged to your personal account, but if it is to be charged to the sohool and of
course run through Ober's we should have the yellow purchase order which is usually
sent. It maybe necessary to substitute on some items but we will do our best to
adhere closely to goods of the same price.

We notice the second item is three dozen Noe 12AL softbalis and just yesterday
had a state purchase order to be shipped to the University of Kansas for the same.
amount of the same softball. Could this be a duplication?

What color enamel shall we use on the raised letter "K" on the sterling silver
baseballse We know you would want either blue or red, but should know this before
the order is placed.

If the order is to be charged to the Physical Education Corporation no doubt
you can claim exemption on the 20% Federal Jewelry tax. The customary proceedure
on this is for us to bill for the tax when the order is sent and include an exempt-
ion certificate which, when properly filled out and returned to us is sent to our
credit department and a credit memorandum issued for the tax. This seems like a
lot of red tape but is the way this tax item must be handled.

When you have Mr. Falkenstien send in the purchase order it might be well to
group it into two orders, placing all of the jewelry, that is, medals and baseballs
on one and the other items on a separate order as most of the stock items oan be
sent immediately, whereas, it would take from four to six week while having the
medals and baseballs made.

An envelope is enclosed for your convenience in answering.

Yours very, truly,
