Dear Dr. Allen:

Both Roy and Bill are away at the present time; however, you may ent
a personal reply to your letters of January 430 when they return.

I have read your interesting correspondence with Lowe & Campbeel and
as Roy has not cotacted this company at the present, I am sure he
intends to very shortly.

In regard to selling head pieces of Goal-Hi standards without the rest
of the equipment, we feel that such action on our part would be very
poor business.

Appreciating the fact that Mr. Perry's equipment will undoubtedly be
inferior to our own, we still think that this case and other occurr—
ences of home-made standards throughout the country (of which there
will probably be a few) will tend to dmphasize the superiority of the
manufactured product rather than prove a hindrance.

This case and also the case of Mr. M. J. Benjamin of the John R. Rogers
High School certainly tends to prove that there is a demand among
educators for a game such as your Goal-Hi, and I don't believe that
they can make their home-made equipment of inferior quality a great
deal cheaper than we sell the official equipment.

Yours truly,

FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING CO.
