FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING Co. a os SAINT Loutrs, Mo. dr - O02 G. W. CROSNOE, oo December 12, 1940 Dre Forrest Ce Allen Director of Physical Education & Recreation Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Your correspondence of November 29, to Roy Weinzettel was directed to my attention. | We have carefully checked our files and can find no record of the Goal-Hi order for the University of Maine. To further our investi- gation we wrote our New England representative, the Edward E. Babb Company of Boston, and asked that they please advise whether or not they had made the sale. The Babb Company checked their files and also inquired of other dealers throush which they had been workinge ‘The order has not been located. The Dakin Sporting Goods Company is not on our dealer list and it would be impossible for them to obtain Goal-—Hi equipment without our knowledge or Babbts knowledge. The only logical conclusion that can be draymm is that the Dakin Surting Goods Company sold competitive equipment to the University of Maine and told their customer that it was Goal-Hi. It is for this reason that we do not favor the idea of giving the Dakin Company a Goal-Hi rules booke Yours very truly, FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING COMPANY Merchandising Divisim F Medart/MFZ STEEL LOCKERS____STEEL WARDROBES_____ STEEL SHELVING____ GYMNASIUM APPARATUS____ GYM SEATS____ BASKETBALL BACKSTOPS____ PLAYGROUND APPARATUS
