Dear Phog:

Have your letter of November 8 inquiring about the electric
scoreboard, and we are just about ready to begin printing
some literature in support of this product.

During the past several months we have been testing the board
and have found it to be 100% right and only after that find-
ing have we decided to approve the model that has been work-
ing night and day in our sample room during this period, and
offer it to the public.

We are going to ask a price of $160.50 for the board delivered,
and the necessary cable for electric connections is quoted at
20 cents per foot, delivered.

I want to emphasize the fact, Phog, that this electric score-
board of ours is comparable to our competitors top quality. In
other words, certain of our competitors offer a range of score-
boards from about $50.00 up to $300.00 or more, and a compari-
son of descriptive literature with our product indicates that
the Medart scoreboard offers all of the features that others
have included in their $275.00 or $300.00 models.

Just as soon as I get some photographs or some descriptive mat-
ter concerning our board, I will see to it that same goes for-
ward to you. I hope you can see your way clear to approve a
Medart scoreboard at the University of Kansas, as I know of no
place where I would rather have this board doing a job day in
and day out.

Kindest regards.
