Dear Mr. Allen;

Glad to get your letter and to try and clear up the
matter of insurance on our basketball glasses.

You are perfectly right in suggesting that a person
might like to expect compensation in event of loss of leg
Or arm or sight. I believe the policy originally issued
on Sollenberger's lenses did carry protection on loss of
Sight, or serious similar injury to the eye. AS I suggested
earlier that policy was furnished by the Motex Company,
whose .lenses we used at that time in’ our glasses. I do not
believe we should have included this insurance protection
with each set delivered, even though guaranteed by the
manufacturer. Since that time we have switched to a case-
hardened lens which does not carry with it an insurance
policy, but which is a far more superior lens. We do not
suggest any-longer to our purchasers that an insurance
policy is provided with our present product, although we do
guarantee our product against breakage, and replace them in
that event. I believe you will remember we did replace his

— : lenses free of charge. We pride ourselves
now on furnishing a set of glasses that
will stand the gaff, and that will elimi-
nate all breakage injury hazard to sight.
fruthfully we have not had a single set
eported broken since that time, and the
host of satisfied purchasers quickly
rrOwS.

    

We certainly appreciate your frankness
in this matter and want you to know that
we have enjoyed serving your needs. We
hope you will need our product again.

sincerely,
