My dear Dre Allen:

Oux instructor in general practical Physical Education and
playground work has requested me to order a “"Goal-Hi" standard
as he wishes to include this in his programe I have ordered the
seme for hime I em writing you regarding this to let you know
that I think the price which the Medart Mompany charges for this
moveable and adjustable standard is a “damned holdup" and I be»
lieve you would be smart to try to get them to cut that price
about in half as I believe the price will generally be consi dered
en imposition and people will refuse to pay that amount. It is my
frenk opinion that that stendard could be made for five dollars
and, under present conditions, if I had inquiries coming to me
fram the schools in the state regarding this my recommendation to
them would be that they improvise a standard and save about twenty=
five dollarse From what little I know of the game it seems to me
that it should go over big as an addition to either an outdoor or
indoor recreative program but I do believe this price for goal is
going to pull down the sales tremendously. Of course you will
take my criticism for what you think it is worth but I felt that
I should let you kmow frenkly my reaction.

With kindest regards end wishing you a pleasant summer, I am

Very sincerely yours

Re Ge Clapp, MeCe
