W. F. COEN, JR. G. E. COEN Coens ATHLETIC & SPORTING GOODS CO. NINE ENTY-FIVE WALNUT STREET - - KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI ” » gf WHOLESALE & RETAIL wy ae Wr April 7, i936 Dr. Forrest Cc. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doc: Please excuse the delay in answering your letter of March 3lst put we have been so busy. closing up our retail store that I have had no chance to take care of this. I regret exceedingly to say I do not carry samples of all these nets therefore it will be impossible for me to send samples. If this makes it impossible to favor us with the order it would just be too bad and unfortunate but I trust maybe you can send it along anyway. One way or the other you know I appreciate your interest in my direction. There is a manufacturer on the west coast who is experimenting with some tennis ball covers, that is the felt. In his experimenting he is making up a quantity of balls, absolutely top grade balis, but is marking them “seconds” while making this test. K nowing him personally I have been able to buy some of these balis and can let the University have them at $3.00 per dozen. This would be quite a saving to you and I can assure you they are very fine balis and not in any way inferior to the highest priced balls you can buy. Hoping to hear from you, I remain, Yours very truly, COEN'S ATH & SPORTING GOODS CO. BY P. S. How about a golf game in Kansas City some day? snare batts + DISTRIBUTORS FOR A. G.
