po THE HILLYARD ‘oo Chumucal Company ESTABLISHED 1907 BRANCHES AND WAREHOUSES IN PRINCIPAL CITIES ST- JOSEPH -1:-MISSOURI-U-S-A: | uw CABLE ADDRESS HILCO” IN REPLY REFER TO November 17, 1944 Mr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allen: On arriving home from Oklahoma this evening, I was happy to receive your letter and to know that Hillyard's has received the contract for refinishing your floor. When I was in Lawrence, my understanding was that we were to start on the floor on November 24. Possibly you have set this date up to November 21. I know Hillyard's will keep me posted as to when I should be there. _ Mr. Allen, I am sorry but I left the drawing of Hank Ipbats floor with rHank. I am getting in touch with him and asking him to send me this drawing, and, as soon as I get it, I will forward it to you. The A. & M. colors are, as you know, black and orange. I made the sidelines for his court three inches wide in black with orange-colored round dots the size of a silver dollar and 15 inches apart. The two inch lines were decorated the same with an orange dot the size of a 50¢ piece. We put in the center of the floor an "A & M." This made a very attractive floor, and I know we can finish your floor just as attractively as A. & M.'s court. Thank you again for your letter. You will be hearing from me, or seeing me, in the next few days. Yours very truly, \ Cena ih Le “ Chas. /W. Goforth RR OPERATING NATION-WIDE SERVICE OF FLOOR MAINTENANCE ENGINEERS
