Lucky Tiger Manufacturing _—
Kansas City, Missouri

Gentlemen:

For more than fifteen years I have been a consistent
and an ardent user of your Lucky Tiger hair tonic. I first
sterted educating my sons to the use of this tonic and then my
daughters developed some dandruff and I sold them on the idea.

I purchase from four te six bottles a month. However, something
has happened that has cooled me off considerably.

I did buy the twelve ounce bottle. Yor several years
I have been buying this from the Crown Drug Store. For a while
you put a leader on sale together with the tonic and that was
your Magic Shampoo Soap, for the seme price as the tonic. I
heve never used the shampoo, but noticed in the last package I
bought thet your bottle »as shrunk from twelve ounces to eight
ouncese That is a 33 1/3% increase, which makes it #11 out of
reasone Certainly there is no consistent reason why such a
radical drop should be made in the size of your product. Alcohol
for scientific purposes and other drugs can not justifiably
account for such a change.

Many firms and corporations sre taking edvantage of
this situation and have hiked the prices already, and, so far
as I am concerned, if you een not give a better explenetion than
i neve heard, I certainly will not continue to use your product
because I think you are either taking edvantage “ the situation
or adopting unfair tactics.

Very cordially yours,

Director of Physical Fduestion and Recreation

Dear Mire Yelshs

I acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 26th instant
and I appreciate the fact that you delved very deeply into the
Lucky Tiger “Both.= 69g" Deal.

_ After I received your letter I called the Crow Drug
store and asked if I could buy your former reguler sizeێ 12<ounce
Lucky Tiger Hair Tonic which listed for $1.00 but sold at cut rate
for 70¢3 they said they had none in stock, — the econbination
S-ounce "Both « eof" Deals

I certainly am not questioning your right to do business

_ 88 you sce Pit but ag I told you, for 15 to 20 years it seems as

if I bought great quantities of the Lucky Tiger Mair Tonic. At:
every barber shop I go to, whether in Chicago, lew York cr lawronce,
I insist on Lucky Tiger Tair Tonie. I have used for yeare the plain
tonie without oil, but for the last year I have been using your some
bination with oi and Like it very tuche

When you sold the 12-cunee Lucky Tiger Hair Tonic i formerly
bought the bottle without the imgic Shampoo, then for 79¢ you began putting
the Yagie Shampoo in with the Hair Tonic at the same figuree I think |
I have six or seven bottles of the Magic Shampoo which has never been
touched, but I have used all of my Lucky Tiger Hair Tonice The point
that I am making is that I do not went to buy Megie Shampoo. I would
accumulate enough of it through the year to take a bath in ite I de
use the Lucky Tiger Hair Tonic and this is the question tet I em
asking yous do you sell the l2-ounce Lucky Tiger Hair Tonic without
the Magic Shampoo? Timt is the thing I want to buy and i do not care
for the shampoo even though it is given to mos

I might say, however, tat it is a fime piece of goods and
my dughters are very enthusiastic about it, but they never wash their
baie ensued be Gos ota ab ali the casa stock I have on hands I
notice that you did not answer this point and maybe I did not make it
plain enough so I am asking you if you are morchandizing the Hair Tonic
separate teem the Magic Shempoce

I appreciate the fact that you wrote your letter fron a —
personal interest and I assure you that you and I have some very
strong mutual friends. I assure you I am not questioning the ine
dividual merits ef you, Mr. Welsh, but I em like any other buyer,
I want to buy whet I want and a fellow carmot give me something I
do not want, even though it may be a good product.

Thanking you graciously for you kindness, and assuring
you that should your sen cane to Kee we will welcome him here
and do everything we cen to mike his stay here both pleasant end

Dr. Forrest C. Allen

Direetor of Physical Education
University of Kansas

Lawrence, Kansas,

Dear Dr. Allen:

We appreciate your letter of the 25rd and to have the oppor-
tunity to correct the erroneous er that we are profiteering on
our "Both - 69¢" Deal.

In the early Fall of 1939 we introduced a combination package
made up of 1 - 12 ounce bottle of Lucky Tiger and 1 - 8 ounce bottle of
Magic Shampoo and set up a Fair Trade Minimum Selling Price thereon of
19¢. This Fall we introduced a combination package made up of 1 - 8
ounce bottle of Lucky Tiger and 1 - 8 ounce bottle of Magic Shampoo and
set up a Fair Trade Minimun vere ee Price of 69¢ or 10¢ less than the
1939 combination.

The 1939 combination cost you 3.95 cents per fluid ounce of
contents and the 1940 cost you 4.31 cents per fluid ounce of contents.
This shows an increased cost to you of 3.6 mills per fluid ounce of
eontents. However, this was not increased profit to us for our labor
costs have increased because of the Wage and Hour Bill, which Bill and
the war have also increased our cost of cartons, labels, shipping cases
and other items, The war has increased the cost of perfume oils and
some other chemicals. To these increases we must add excise taxes 104%,
corporation taxes, income taxes (if any net income is left,) State Taxes,
City Taxes.

We do not know who told you we are profiteering on our 1940
special unit, but whoever suggested such a thing was wrong.

I have written this letter to you with a lot of personal
interest for I have heard a great deal of you from some very good friends
of mine in Kansas City, Kansas, where I live - Renz Edwards and Morris
Briedenthal. Also I have a son whom I intend to send to K. U. in 1942.
And, by the way, if you want to know what kind of folks we are, ask

Dear Dr. Allen:

Have your letter of the 27th and just finished talk-
ing to the Buyer at the Crown Drug Company asking him to be sure
that the Crown Drug Store in Lawrence has the $1.00 or 12 ounce
size of both Lucky Tiger Hair Tonic Regular and Lucky Tiger With

Oil in stock at all times.

Both of these items retail, under

our Fair Trade Price in Kansas, at 79¢.

Under separate cover I am sending you, postpaid, with’
our compliments, a bottle of each. I am also including in this
package two jars of our Hand and Face Kreme, also two purse size
bottles of Never-Tel, which I believe your daughters will enjoy

using.

In the meantime, I have enjoyed this correspondence
with you and hope that some of these days I might have the privi-

lege of meeting you.

Vear Ur, Leatherock:

, I am @ little tardy in acknowledging your
kindness and courtesy to us when we were in Perry, .
Oklahoma on February 17.

Not only did I enjoy the very wholeso:e
conversation that we had, but I also enjoyed getting
back to a small town which I first visited in 1895,
Teo was a cireut ridere-a Southern ‘iethodist
uinister, and I remember when I was a youngster of ten
we visited Stillwater, Perry, and Pawnee. There were
plenty of Indians in their blankets in those days, and
I got quite a kick out of my early days’ experiences in
that town. ‘hat a change now in your progressive and
hospitable town! |

If you are ever in our part of the country,
it will be a delight to have you and your fanily es our
guests.

Again thanking vou for your many courtesies,
I am,

Dear friend Pete:

I am belatedly answering your good letter of February 14th
and regret that the publicity caused you any unpleasantness.

Some time when I am Wichita which I trust will not be fer
henes, I will drop in and have a good telk with youe I de not know
the Wichita angle; in fact, I imagine that I am about the poorest poli-
ticien in the world, but I do want to heve a talk with you because many

people in Wichita have stated to me thet you have taken a “crack” at
me every time the door was opeme Now I have never taken this grape-
vine rumor seriously, but I have hed many of my friends in ‘ichitea
come to me and say, “Pete Lightner sure pours it on to you every
chanee he gets." :

This hes not bothered me at all, Pete, and I assure you
that when you and I sit down and talk things over, we will find much
of this telk is like Merk Twain's death--greatly exaggerated.

If you happen to be in Lewrence in the near future, it
will be a delight to see youe With ell good wishes, I am

Dr.F.C.Allen,
K.U.Basketball Coach
Lawrence Kan.

Dear Friend:

i.. am iggclosing a pair of clipping,one taken from the
Beacon of Feb.13 and the other from our Evening Paper of Feb.14,the

next day.The latter was written by our Evening Eagle sports report—
er ,Jimmy Armour .

You will note that Al Gebert passed the ball neatly to
you in the controversy over a news story our evening paper felt
it had been given a bit of a slight over.

I am sure I understand considerable of the situation
as I have been on the paper for quite a time and a Kansan all my
life. But the fact remains that Gebert in order to square him-
self with Armour,and to some extent with myself,(we are not pals
by any means,that is Gebert and myself), passed the buck to you
and made it appear like you were playing favorites around town.

I am sure you had no such intentions .I am also sure
that we have a battery of 15 trunk lines and a 24 hour service.In
other words, could it be that a phone call would have relieved
all this little feeling over what was labeled a news favoritisni,?

Some time when you are here gr I am in Lawrence I might
give you a little more inside dope on the local angle,which I am
sure you may have overlooked.

In the meantime ,we are wishing K.U. the best of luck
in your campaign and hope you can come back here next year,and
make it an annual affair,under slightly difference circumstances.

No date has been set, altho
it is expected that the date
will be sometime after se-

Chance of Overtaking the
Leading Newtons

El Dorado is hot after the lead in
the Ark Valley league, and will be
tough opposition tonight for the
East high Aces when the two teams
collide on the East playing floor.

East has had _ strong offense
through most of the season, and will
count on power to upset their touted
rivals

East has had an on-an-off season,
with most of their victories coming
when either Bill Ellis or Bill Jern-
igan, or both, were hitting the bas-
ket. When those two hot shots are
off, the East team suffers accord-
ingly.

Tonight they might win if both
play well. El Dorado has a rangy
team, complete with basket shoot-
ers, and fine guarding. They led
Newton much of the way in a recent
game between the two schools, and
now see a chance to overhaul the
. league.

They will be going full out to-
night, which means that the locals
must match them stride for stride
if they want to win.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.—(UP)—Willie
Hoppe entered the: final round of
the world’s three-cushion billiard
tournament today certain of at least
a tie for the championship he has
defended through 16 ‘consecutive
matches.

Only his bopsent in the. final
match, Jake Schaefer of Chicago.
had a mathematical chance of tak-
ing ‘the winner’s share of the $20,000
prize money and even that chance
would depend on the outcome of a
run-off match. Hoppe, working on
a hurry-up schedule that has put
him on the schedule every night
since he returned to the table after
a severe attack of influenza, has
won 15 of his 16 matches. Schaefer
has won 14 of 16.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPY SERVICE — Thursday night
we drove to Newton to see Bethel
tangle with Kansas Wesleyan. The
game was interesting all the way,
but we used intermissions for a bit
ot spy work.

We searched for the secret and
now are prepared to tell local high
school officials what they should
do to build winning teams in their
institutions.

There was an admission to the
game, but it didn’t keep the kids
away. In all probability they pooled
their total resources to buy one
ticket, and that kid opened a side
door to let the others in.

But that’s guess work and be-
side the point. The main thing
was their action, and the fact that
every kid in town was on hand.

Like soldiers before a general,
the kids paid strict attention to all
detail during the playing time.
During time out and intermis- 4
sions, they played mock basket
ball, using a hat for the ball,
along the sidelines.

Kids old enough to. talk,y ‘called
rules infractions before t referce
could get his whistle to his mouth,
and one infant, not yet able to
talk, pointed and squirmed in his
mother’s lap when Bz player com-
mitted a foul. J
Social standing among youngsters

there depends entirely on their abil-
ity to toss baskets. At the age of
six, to amount /to anything at all,
a kid has to pe able to. hit eight
cut of ten shots from the center of
the court.

Newton isfhigh school basketball
ruts. Even the players on the Bethel
team weref making wagers on the
high school game tonight while they
dressed fdr their game. ~

The ingerest of the older folks,
who reserve their tickets during the
summer for the winter cage activity
helps greatly. But the fact that the
kids start learning the garne early,
andekegp at it for years, seems to
be the;biggest factor in the con-
tinued guccesses of their teams.

DIFFICULTY — Coaches here
who shout in loud terms about
their difficulty in coaching con-
ditions, would run a temperature
with the'situation faced by Coach
of Bethel.

Porter’s Can is owne

Kansas and Wichita university
may meet here again next year if
Dr. Allen is agreeable, but the game
has not been signed yet, and no one
in the athletic department at the
local school ask for or suggested
such a game, Al Gebert, director
of athletics, announced today.

“We have thought about the
basketball schedule for next year,”
Gebert said. “If we could come to
an agreement, we would like to
have the game again, but we haven’t
thought about it. No one in this
department has sé¢en Dr. Allen
since the night of the Kansas-
Wichita game.”

Supporters of both the Kansas
and Wichita team, however, are
highly in favor of a repeat per-
formance if such could -be. ar-
ranged.

Before ther.game could be as-
sured, the two schools would have
to make the arrangements, and
the arrangements would have to be

My dear Dr. Allens

Our college is celebrating its 50th anniversary this coming
school year. As part of the commemorative program, we have set
aside the month of February as athletic month. It is our plan
to have four speakers, one on each of the Wednesdays in February.
These programs are to be in our assembly hall and are to be held
at 10:30 o'clock in the morning.

We hope to have on these programs one of the outstanding
athletic publicity men of this territory, an outstanding football
coach, basketball coach, and athletic director. I am very anxious
to have you on the program as representative of the basketball
group. I want you for two reasons~--cne is a personal reason and
the other is that we recognize you here as the leading basketball
coach in the United States.

The dates on which we expect to hold these programs are
February 5, 12, 19, and 26. I am placing you on the program ten-
tatively for February 12. I know you will be busy with your basket-
ball schedule at that time so you may have to shift to one of the
other dates. I wish you would write me at your earliest conven-
ience and let me know when you can accept this invitation and
which of the four dates would be the most convenient for you to

come.

Dear Dr. Allen:

The Weight Record and Field & Court charts which we
you requested some time ago, were shipped to you today by ~~
parcel post.

When you first put in your request for these, wewere
entirely out of both numbers, and we were having more of them
printed. There was a greater delay than we had anticipated or
you would have been notified of that delay.

We are sorry that we did not let you know about these
soonere

We are sending twelve of the Weight Record & Basketball
Free Throw charts end five of the Field & Court charts. If you
want more of them, please feel that you are more than welcome
to any quantity that you will need.

Very truly yours,

LOWE & CAMPBELL f-

Dear Dr. Allen:

Perhaps you don't remember me from last summer but I was
in your basketball coaching class last summer at the University of
Texas. I would like to tell you again how much I enjoyed the
work under youe I have only one complaint to make; the time was
just too short.

Now that I have identified myself, I would like to ask a
favor or two. On November 9th the basketball coaches of this area
have decided to hold a kind of clinic for the discussion afid inter-
pretation of basketball rules for the benifit of coaches and basket-
ball officials. For some reason I have been selected to lead this
meeting. Now I have felt for some time that the type of basketball
officiating in this district should be improved and it seems now that
such a program will get started. I would appreciate any suggestion
that you might give in regard to some things that might be taken up
at our meeting. My idea is that the rules should be thoroughly
discussed alomg with demonstrations, etc., and also a good discussion
of the mechanics of officiating.

For my second favor I would like to have the name and address
of the book that you mentioned last summer on basketball officiating.
I didn't take the name of it because I thought |! had the address.

Thanking you very much and with best regards, I am

PPE yours,

D. Le Ligo
