Dear Coach Allen:

We have your request for quotation sheet of Auge 18th
and also your letter of Aug. 18th regarding the Push Ball situation.

In regard to the request for quotation, we have quoted
on the items which we manufacture and are sending the quotation sheet
direct to you, rather than the State Business Manager; in accordance with
the instructions clipped to the top of the sheet. Inasmuch as this quo-
tation sheet is going to you, we have not enclosed our Certified Check
for 5% of the amount of the Bid. However, if you wish us to forward this
check either to you or the Business Manager at Topeka, please notify us
and we will be very glad to do S0-«

We have quoted on hairfelt filled mats only, as it is
our impression from past dealings, that you are more interested in this
type of mat, rather than the cheaper Fibatex or sisal filled mats.

In regard to the Push Ball we wish to state that the same
situation exists in regard to the new Push Ball, as to a bladder for
“your old leather push ball. We are unable to manufacture any push balls
at this time and have neither push balls nor bladders in stocke

“We are getting out a new catalog which eliminates this
item and we are sorry that you were mislead by its appearance in our
Bulletin No. 15.

We thank you very much for your continued interest in
our equipment and look forward to the pleasure of serving you,on the items
which we have quoted.

Yours very truly,

Dear My. Hofstetter:

Thank you for your letter of August 5th replying to
our inguiry about a bladder for the ee Pa Best
that we have here.

Tt notice in your Bulletin No. 15 you have listed a
6 ft. Canvas Shell Push Ball. I am wondering if this
has @ rubber bladder, and if it is detachable. If se,
perhaps we could insert one of these bladders in our
leather ball. Or, it might be possible to put the entire
canvas shell inaide the leather cover.

I would appreciate it if you would quote prices on

your Canvas Shell and Rubber Fabric Shell Push Balls,
six feet in diameter, with bladder included.

Very sincerely yours,

Thanks for your welcome letter of Aug. 4th.

However, we regret that we are unable to
furnish Push Ball Bladders, an item which we manufactured in

Push ball bladders require fresh, crude rubber
and the Rubber Branch of the W.P.B. does not permit the pro-

Dear Mr. Allen:

In response to your request in your letter of
July 13th, we are enclosing our bid sheet, filled out with the
quotations on our mat rebuilding service.

If you will note on our Proposal C-5122, the
1 Gymasium Mat 4t x 10! is qudted at a price of $8.00, while the
3- 4% x 5% mats are quoted at $9.80 each. In-as-much as our cost
for this service including freight to and fromlawrence is 497 per
sq. ft. - the 4" x 5' mats are correctly quoted but the 4' x 10! mat,
should have been $19.60, instead of $8.00, which was quoted as a re-
sult of a clerical error.

However, in-as-much as we quoted you on this basis,
we are willing to rebuild this one mat at the price originally quoted.
However, the additional mts are figured on the basis of 49¢ per
square foot and on the enclosed requisition we have adjusted the price
on the 4 x 10! mat to this correct pasis/ We leave the matter of the
price to be paid on this 4 x 10' mat to your discretion.

We thank you very much for this opportunity to quote
you and look forward to serving you in the very near future.

1 your mats (gymnasium, tumbling, boxing, wrestling and all others) may be rebuilt
without preference rating or priority. And, your physical fitness program, this coming fall and
winter, need not be hampered or hindered in any manner.

Mats may be rebuilt
without change in size or thickness

 
  
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
  

In the majority of cases, mats are rebuilt
into mats of the same measurements. If your
present mat equipment suits your program
needs, no changes should be considered.

Mats may be rebuilt
into mats of more convenient sizes

For an example: An unhandy, heavy
wrestling mat may be rebuilt into a fine
combination wrestling mat consisting of
a number of individual and strictly offi-
cial gymnasium mats, equipped, as an
added feature, with leather straps,
so that the gym mats may be
lashed together.

Or, anumber of awkward small
mats can be transformed into one
large mat.

Or, individual mats of sizes
unsuited, may be changed into
equipment more advantageous for
your requirements.

Mats may be rebuilt
into mats, larger or thicker

If you wish mats larger than
your present ones, new hairfelt
may be added to attain the desired
measurements.

Mats which are too thin or light
for the purpose intended may be
brought up to any desired thick-
(These pictures from unretouched photos.) ness by the addition of new

hairfelt.

A mat, so renovated or recovered, will look all
right, but not for very long. Soon the muck from
the old mat will appear through the new, white
covering; furthermore, when the mat is in constant

Rebuilding of Mats in a Big Way

We have frequently been entrusted by Boards
of Education of our larger cities with the
rebuilding of mats gathered and consolidated
from all the schools comprising the respective
school system. These mats were shipped to us
at one time, the entire transaction being ar-
ranged by one of our representatives.

Due to the shortage of men and gasoline
rationing, we cannot extend the same coopera-
tion this year and have to request of these
Boards of Education to instruct the custodians
of the various schools to ship their mat equip-
ment direct. :

We will gladly supply convenient shipping
tags—any number desired. Your own or plain
tags may also be used.

What to do right now!

Mail us at once a list giving the sizes and thicknesses of the mats which you want rebuilt. We will

 

submit our proposal with prices which will include all transportation charges, coming and going. Also sample

of covering material, shipping instructions and shipping tags. No obligation on your part. -

 

Mat covers for mats in good condition!

Mats in good condition should have mat covers, not only to prolong their life and enhance their appearance
and efficiency but also for the sake of hygiene and san‘tation. Mat covers may be cleaned at regular intervals.
With boxing and wrestling mats, the use of covers is imperative to assure a smooth, tuftless surface for fast
footwork. Simply mail us a list giving the sizes of your mats and we will give you all necessary cost and general

information. Be sure to ask for information regarding covers.

RECOVERING HORSES, BUCKS, FLYING RINGS, ETC. with finest russet seating leather. Please ask about
these. We may be able to do it without “‘red tape.”
