Dear Doc: Wade Green was here to-day and I arranged for our personnel manager to take him around tc the four departments that employ engineers so that he could interview the proper party in each of these departments. I enjoyed visiting with him also and agree with you that he appears to have possibilities. The unfortunate thing about our situation here at this time is that we built up a very large staff of engineers in every department last year because of the 32 million dollar expansion program and then this year without much expansion in the picture we are having to find places in the gangs for many young engineers. Be- cause of collective bargaining agreements which are in effect with practically all of our field employees, we are fining it practically impossible to put additional men in these gangs in face of the Company's having laid off one-thousand employees in the past five months. Nevertheless, you can never tell in the oil business when something might open up and with Wade's application on file and with a few letters from him from time to time to the parties he interviewed, it is entire- ly possible that something may be developed for next fall which is the time he says he would want to get under waye In the meantime, I will keep my eyes open also for anything which might fit into the picture.

On the order for the three 36 x 3 ft. tarred tennis nets, we wish to say that this length as you know we do not carry in stock in the tarred and we have therefore today instructed the factory in Chicago to forward these nets to you direct. We have urged them to make prompt shivment, but in view of the fact that they are tarred, it will take sometime for the tar to dry and it may be about 10 days before you get then. However, we will do the very best we can to get them out to you. Thank you very much for the order and with best personal wishes. jre;m “It Pays to Play” April 15, 1938.

April 1, 1938 Dr. Forrest C. Allen c/o University of Kansas Lawrence, Kan. Dear Phog: Answering your letter of March 3lst, we wish to say that we haven't the exact length net with which to submit a sample. However, this net that we describe to you in our letter of March 22nd is exactly the same net as our #555 show on pege 14 of our Spring catalog, except the net on which we have bid is 38 ft. long and the #555 net is 42 ft. long. Under the circumstances, we are going to suggest to Taft Talbot the next time he is going to Lawrence to take along one of our #555 nets so that you can see the quality. If the twine that is used in our #555 net, which is a 21 thread tarred twine, is not heavy enough please understand that we can furnish these nets in #30 twine and in fact up to as heavy as #48 thread twine if desired at an additional cost. We would suggest therefore, Phog, in your bid if you find that you do not like the #21 tarred twine and want a heavier net that you simply specify in your bid the length youdesire the net, the width, canvas bound, tarred and also mention that you want a Manila rope top line and the usual cotton bottom line. If you give these spnecifications, they will of course have to be lived up to in any bid that was furnished you. However, before meking your decision possibly you would like to see the sampie of the #555 net and we will ask Taft Talbot, who is now in Oklahoma -= just as soon as he returns to show you this sample.

Allen c/o University of Kansas Physical Education Dept. Lawrence, Kan. Dear Phog: Taft Talbot writes under date of the 2lst that you are going to be interested in the price of 36 ft. tarred tennis nets. : I believe for many years, Phog, you have specified the 38 ft. tennis net, 3 ft. wide made from #21 thread twimtarred with Manila rope top line bound with heavy duck at top and cotton bottom line. I rather assume that you are still going to continue that same length net. According to our records, if they are correct, the last bunch of these that you purchased from us was May 5th, 1934 -~ four years ago. Whether you have purchased any since, I do not know, although that is rather an unusual length of time for nets to last. Nets as outlined above would cost you each $6.75. If you desire the above nets to be 30 ft. long, they would cost you $6.45. Also Taft stated that you wanted to know if the sponge rubber mats, on which we quoted you yesterday, have handles at the edges and we wish to advise that we believe they are made in that way, although the description in the catalog of them does not say so. However, it certainly would be an easy matter to have handles placed on the edges of these, the game as on the regular mats, because the handles are stitched to the cover and these are covered with black rubberized duck. Thanks a lot for the inquiry and we hope we will be able to serve you. = = = = SPORTING; : GOODS; EXGLUSIN. = LY => se = S 1422-24 GRAND AVENUE KANSAS Crry,Mo. March 21, 1938 Dr. Forrest C. Allen c/o University of Kansas Physical Education Dept. Lawrence, Kan. Dear Phog:; Taft Talbot came in today with the request that we quote you on recovering your wrestling mats. As we recall it, these mats are of course two inches thick. We do not know just the dimensions of the mats otherwise, but we can cover these with 15 ounce duck, the same duck that they were covered with at the time they were made and retuft them at 37¢ per square foot. You can arrive of course at the cost per mat by simply measuring your mats. For instance if they are 5 ft. by 8 ft. that would be 40 sq. ft, which would figure out on that basis, $14.80 per mat. This covering is put on right over the old covering and re+tufted, so that it really makes practically new mats out of them. You also ask for a quotation for new wrestling mats and we have mailed you under separate cover today a copy of our Spring and Summer Athletic Equipment catalog #69AW and refer you to page 39. You will note that we quote two grades of mats viz the Premier Grade and The Standard Grade. The Premier Grade is filled with finest grade Ozite curled hair felt. A mat 2 inches thick in this grade would cost you per square ft. 69 6/10¢. The Standard Grade, which is exactly the same as the Premier Grade, except that it is filled with a combination of jute and hair felt filler, would cost you per sqaure ft., 55 2/10¢. We rather imagine for Kansas University use, you had better specify the Premier Grade, although a very large proportion of our sales, generally to the Intermediate Schools is in the Standard Grade. Taft further states that you are interested in a quotation on sponge rubber mats and while we do not carry these in stock, we can obtain them for you from the factory. The makers claim regarding the sponge rubber mat that it is more resilient and shock absorbing. “It be Ai to ee : sige gE a te a ee TS Ls Bae ae eee a: ait: pS a cosa ee ema See Rn nc a eae oe eds See eee ignites SR aii atlas ¢ A c é - on Ga AA .

Taft also asks us to quote you on a wall mat hanger and while we have an illustration in a factory catalog of these hangers, we haven't at present got a net quotation on then. / We are attaching this /illustration hergwith, Phog, their #1213 and list at $3:30.per hanger. ther imagine it would not cost to exceed $2,20 per hanger. each mat would require, we If you are interested in these hangers, assume, one pair of then. we will be very giad to get them for you and assure you we will \) make you the lowest market price’on them.
