Dear Sir:

We'll make this letter as short as possible because we
feel certain that, as a coach, you are already familiar
with the facts concerning the new Fan-Shaped Basketball
Bankboards and Goals. And being aware. of those facts, you
do doubtessly intend to equip your gymnasium with this new
equipment, if you have not already done so.

Therefore, we ask that if you have installed the new Fan-—Shaved
banks, you notify us of that fact “by a notation at the bottom
of this letter. If you haven’t yet installed Fan-Shaped Banks,
be sure you see the PORTER bank before you buy. No other
bankboard on the market offers you all the features found

in the product of this 73-year-old corporation, successors

to Spalding, Chicago, and Louden lines of Gymnasium, Playground
and Swimming Pool Equipment.

So certain are we of the superiorities of the PORTER Bank and
Goal that we invite you to inspect an actual PORTER install —

tion before you buy. We’ll gladly furnish you, upon request,

with the name of a PORTER-equipped school in your vicinity,

Won’t you take pen in hand NOW and tell us whether or not
you have as yet installed Fan-Shaped Bankboards in your
gymnasium? A postage free return envelope is enclosed for
your convenience. Thanks very much.

Very truly yours,
as E. PORTER CORPORATION
Cheha C. Tetagt

P.S. Difficulties in raw material procurement will shortly

force prices of Fan-Shaped Banks to higher levels. It is
definitely to your advantage to place your order now!
