In recent months, several pieces of equipment which appear somewhat similar on the surface to the
Official GOAL-HI Standard have appeared on the market.

Imitation is frequently described as the highest type of flattery. Be that as it may, I believe there is
an obligation on my part to direct the attention of all interested parties to the fact that GOAL-HI is a
game — not merely a piece of equipment.

The trade names for such competitive equipment are sufficiently different to avoid infringement of
the copyright laws. Further, such imitations are lacking certain mechanical or construction fea-
tures, important to the game, which are fully protected by U. S. Patents.

Those differences are important to the buyer. They have a definite bearing on the game — on the
degree of safety, exercise value, interest and enthusiasm provided the player.

However, as important as those exclusive mechanical features are, I am anxious to emphasize some-
thing of even greater importance to the prospective purchaser, that Goal-Hi is a game — not merely
a piece of equipment.

Official rules and court layout information for playing GOAL-HI as a formal or informal game, by
large or small groups, are available, and are the result of much study and work on our part. GOAL-
HI, as represented by these rules and other data, called for months of effort in drawing the essentials
necessary to make it the great game that it is. From a lifetime of close contact with basketball and
other sport and recreation activities we have fashioned this splendid game.

When seeking a new game for your school, community playground, camp, etc. insist on Official
GOAL-HI Equipment and receive my complete rules book and other valuable data without additional
cost. It costs little to play GOAL-HI. Official GOAL-HI Standards are inexpensive and are sold
subject to a guarantee of ‘‘Your complete satisfaction guaranteed or money returned.’’ Obviously
a broad guarantee like this could not be offered if GOAL-HI had not conclusively satisfied the thou-
sands of buyers who are playing my game in every part of the country.
