Dear Mr. Allen:

t certainly was surprised and very much interested to ‘a
receive your letter of September 13. I am turning this M
letter over to Mr. Howard Herbert who has charge of our

Airfoam Sales and you will hear direct from him on the

subject.

You will be interested to know that we sell Airfoam in
slabs to Ohio State University and they use it for their
football players. They cut the pieces in whatever shape
and size they want. This would probably be the best way
for you to buy Airfoam.

Having pleyed basketball for a number of years myself
and also having hit the floor on many occasions, I am
of the opinion that you have got an excellent idea here
in putting Airfoam under your players' trousers to pre-
vent hip injuries in case of a nasty fall in a game of
basketball. ©

Cordially yours,

Wrarg £.
