Dear Phogs

Have your letter of November 9 and have delayed answering it for several
reasons.

First of all, we do not have the rubber buttons available, at this writing,
for the under side of the circular base of the Goal-Hi standard in your
possession but we will arrange to send you a set just as Soon as they are
on hand so you can fit them into holes that you will drill for that purpose.

Will look forward to seeing your suggested improvement for the slot on the
standard, as described in the second paragraph of your letter. However, we
think that a lock is very essential part of the Goal-Hi standard when it is
used out of doors and left overnight in an unprotected location.

Glad that the Wagstaff family enjoyed the picture that you framed and deliv-
ered to them. I thought it was rather good.

Concerning the price of the rules book, I find that Bill Robinson, who placed
this order, is out of the office at the moment but if memory serves me cor-
rectly we received a price of about $193.00 or $19.00 for the job, which

your local printer wanted $200.00 for. Incidentally, Phog, it might interest
you to know that I have approved printing bills, which, of course, include

art work and plates, in the amount of approximately$2l,00.00, to date, and we
haven't a bit of printing on hand as yet. However, we are expecting arini-
tial delivery of several pieces of printed matter tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, and then we will be all set. Of course I will see to it that ym
are supplied,with samples.

I also think you will be interested in knowing that we have just approved a
$750.00 convention display booth for Goal-Hi, so you see we are doing just
what we told you we were going to do early in the year, iee., spend quite a
sizeable sum of money getting Goal-Hi adopted.

Incidentally, a test mailing of 2500 letters is going forward tomorrow and
Saturday to school officials and coaches in Texas, Alabama, Indiana, and Ohio.
We are using ten different letters with ten different appeals in this mailing
and based on results we will decide which of the letters pulls the best re-
turns, and that information will shape our future national direct-mail pro-
gram.
