KANSAS Crry, Mo. July 28, 1943

Dr. Forest C.Allen,

Physical Education Department,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kans.

Dear Phog:

Taft Talbot returned today with that football shoe order,
for which I want to thank you very much and I know the
football department will be well pleased with those shoe§$,

Incidentally he said that you would be interested in a
quantity of shoes for the Physical Education Program of
the Army and on Monday he will be over at Lawrence show
you a sample pair of these shoes.

Frankly this shoe is not up to pre-war standards, because
it has a Victory Rubber Sole, but Talbot has sold hundreds
of pairs of these to the various army camps, and they are
about the best substitute thatwe have to offer.

Incidentally he says that you might be interested in some
of our No.22GS Sweat Socks, which you have used for many
years.

Now ordinarily we are not taking orders from the Army Camp
for sweat socks at this time, because our stock is greatly
depleted but as I recall it you used possibly about 3
gross of pairs and what stock we have left we are holding
as long as possible for such old customers as KU has been
so that we can supply them with a good sock.

Taft when he comes up to see you Monday will talk to you

about these socks, because we do want KU to have some of our
_ sweat socks as they have bought them in the past.
