Dear Phog;

In reply to your letter of January 11 with further reference to the possi-
bility of you joining us during the N.E.A. Convention in St. Louis, will
say that we have given a lot of thought to this matter and it seems to us
that it would be to the advantage of both of us for you to be present one
of the days that our key sales representatives are here.

In other words, if you cannot get to St. Louis until 1:20 P.M. Tuesday,
the 27th, why not let us definitely plan on your arriving then and I will
see to it that we have a dinner oe oe at which time we will
present you as the principal speaker.

Don't let that "principal speaker" suggestion frighten you, Phog, as we
would not have any long sales session as all that sort of thing will be
taken care of the preceding Sunday, but I am convinced that it would do
the boys a lot of good to have you give them one of those rousing sales
talks on Goal-Hi, following what we will give them in the day-long session
Sunday, the 25th. aoe

If this plan meets with your approval, you and I could spend some time to-
gether during the afternoon of that Tuesday and discuss some things which
I am very anxious to bring before you. I am thinking primarily of the
Basketball Rules Committee meeting in Knasas City, and I want to know just
where we are going, or, in other words ,- leave nothing undone that could
accomplish what we hope to see take place during that session. :

Returning again to the N.E.A. Convention, you and I want to do everything
we can to get this 'ball to rolling’. Unless I am more mistaken than I
have ever been in my life, Goal-Hi is well on its way, and with the little
added push that you would give it, we would get things moving just that

much faster.

Please let me hear from you at your early convenience regarding this sugges-
tion as I want to schedule our few available hours that week, accordingly.

Kindest regards.
Cordially yours,
FRED MEDARL MAD@PACTURING CO.
