My dear Sir:

While teaching at the Coaching School last fell hold in Atlanta
Georgia, I eame-seress was recuested by the inventor of a «mall
moderately priced, self operated foot evercising device to meke
a free thirty day test of same. Mv specialtv being basketball,
which game throws a great. stain unon the foot, arch and ankle,

I therefore was naturally interested to test its use. The results
have mildly astonished me. I use it myself, mv son and daughter
uses it . I have purchased them for our mens and womens evmnasia
and have them installed in our basketball and football training
auarters and about a dozen of my colleagues at this University
who have purchased them savy they do not know how thev sot along
without one. ee

T thought that this subject might be of more then passing interest
to you.as some time ago I read one of your adbertisements which
seemed to apologize for not having an arch support in vour Keds.

In my opinion your Keds are constructed properly for the use of
the normal foot. The leck of a stiff arch or arch support esllow-
-ing the wearer the free unrestricted bone anf? muscle movement is
the grand feature of vour Keds.

Tt seems to me that vou end the maker of this new little evrere’ sine
a@evice have a bond of common interest arainst the sti*? arch shoe
and arch support manufacturers.

I have since learned thet the maker of the device referred to is
an old Yale athlete. He has made something of unusual merit and
if By calling this to vour attention, I can in anv way. be of aid
to either of you, it will be my pleasure. If interested I would
be pleased to give you the makers name and address. :

Cordially vours,

SS
