September 25, 1939

' in your letter of Septenber 25 you did not fully
convince me of the arguaent as to wity Goal-lii should be so much higher
than Uni-goale I am sending you a tear sheet fron Lowe and Campbell's
catalog in which they list Uni-goal at 915.75. And then you mention
the same article, Goalelii, for $21.75.

The only added expense that I see wuld be the price
of printing the rule books, wiieoh would be $200 for 5,000 of theme While
you may have your cone, they have their net and so forth, and one just
about offsets the other. | oo

You mentioned the other day that Lowe and Campbell
want such a large discount when they place orders. Apparently, Uni-
goal has made them a very attractive offer end they are still retail-
ing this goal at $1575. If you would add $1.10 freight that would be
016085 ~ a difference of $4690. I have reference to your Goal«lli as
it is intended for permanent installation in a playgrowmd or school
yard, one that does not have the base nor the adjustable feature.

Dear Phog?

Thank you for your several letters of the 2lst, each of which has received
our careful consideration.

In the first place I want to say that we consider your suggestion regarding
Major Griffith, L. W. St. John, and others, as being the officials to receive
a little attention in connection with the question of approval of the convex
basketball backboard by the Rules Committee, to be a very good one, and we are
going to want to discuss this with you further, but first believe it advisable
to wait and see what disposition is made of our patent application. Until we
get this patent approved, it behooves us to go slowly on this matter as we
would appear in rather a bad light if the patent was not issued and we made a
great play to obtain approval of the convex idea by the Rules Committee. In
any event, thanks again for the suggestion as you have given it to us, am I
am hopeful we can follow this thought to a successful conclusion.

Concerning another of your letters of the 21st, we want to discuss the ques=
tion of Goal-Hi and attempt to give you answers to several questions that you
evidently have in mind. In the first place, that $29.50 price for the stand-
ard with the round base and the adjustable height feature is not out of line.

I believe Mr. Medart mentioned to you that our price is entirely determined by
the method of distributing same. If we did not have dealers to consider we
could very well afford to cut this price quite a little bit, but in doing so

we would substantially reduce the volume of business. A dealer and his sales-
men must be compensated for their efforts, and that cost must be included in

the selling price. There is no way of getting around that Phog, and just to
check again with you, let us look at this $29.50 price as compared to the $16.80
price the Uni-Goal people quote on an f.o.b. factory basis. Our $29.50 price

is a delivered price and includes the rules book and a lot of promotion designed
to stimulate interest and enthusiasm in a new game. The Uni-Goal is intended
for permanent installation in a playground or schoolyard and does not have the
base, nor does it have the adjustable feature, both of which features, plus the
fact that we pay freight, must be taken into consideration.

We are going to list a Goal-Hi standard which likewise will be used out of doors
for permanent installation and which may be more or less comparable to the Uni-
Goal, at a delivered price of $21.75. Comparing this price with the $16.80 fac-
tory price of our canpetitor, to which you should add about $1.50 for freight,
making a total of $18.30 or thereabouts, you can readily see that our $21.75

price is not out of line.

Frankly, it is surprising to me that we can be that close to the competitor's
price, considering the sales pranotion, advertising, and added features, such
as the three-way cone fitting and the three gates which are a part of our
equipment and which are not included in competitors equipment.

So much for cost. We will give some thought to the idea of the rubber suction
cups on the base of the Goal-Hi standard and advise you later.

Concerning the article for Major Griffith, you may be sure that I will send it
to you for editing and for any suggestions you may care to give us before for-
Warding it to Chicago.

I have turned over your letter concerning the price for the rules book, to
Bill, and he told me that he wanted the copy and layout back as quickly as
possible and wired you accordingly. We will advise you within a few days
just what we decide to do regarding the printimg of same by your local printer.

So much for immediate business. That bring us to your third letter of the elst
with reference to the possibility of an association between us, with you acting
in the capacity of technical advisor.

I am of the opinion this whole subject is one that cannot be very well covered
in correspondence and should be held in abeyance until we get together again,
which we will do before very long, and that meanwhile both of us should be giv-
ing some thought to your suggestion. As far as we are concerned, we will cer-
tainly do that because there is a lot of possibilities in the thought you ad-
vance. likewise, there are some very complex sales problems involved and we
would want to give them our best consideration before attempting to go into
this matter with you. For example, some of the items you list in your letter
are definitely dealer items, as we call them, while some of the others are en-
gineering sales equipment that presents an entirely different problem of sell-
Inge

We welcome your suggestion and our response is to ask that you continue to give
this matter some thought, Phog, and be prepared to go into the matter thoroughly

with us when next we meet. As far as making a possible association between us,
public, that is something that would also be subject to some discussion, altho
I see no reason one way or the other why the matter is important because many
concerns like ours employ technical advisors, and goodness knows, we could use
a person in that capacity alone for a great many of our lines of equipment. For
example, with all the War Department purchases popping all over the country,
some one with a knowledge of War Department present day plans would be a mighty
good fellow for us to listen to. I cite this one instance merely to illustrate

the almost every day need for specialists in the business we are engaged in.

Kindest regards.
Cordially yours,

Dear Phog;

We are up against a question in connection with a new basket-
ball scoreboard we are trying to develop ami would greatly
appreciate having you pass on this question, which has to do
with the control box.

Some of our competitors are offering two boxes so that the
scorer and the timekeeper can each handle an individual box,
while others are offering, with their scoreboard, one combined
box to be operated by one person. Obviously the cost of man-
ufacturing two boxes would be greater than if the mechanism
was included in one control box.

The question we would like to put to you for your advice is
whether or not you think the methanism should be enclosed in
one box and operated by one person, or whether it would be
advisable to have two control boxes at the scorer's and timer's
table. Frankly, we are not in a position to decide on this
question ourselves and thought you would not object to giving
us your opinion.

We are enclosing a stamped, addressed envelope for your con-
venience when replying.

Kindest personal regards.

Cordially yours,

Dear Phog:

Have your letter of September 22 and enclosures covering correspon-

dence between you and James Williams, Coach at Piper, Kansas. I have
written him per copy attached and we will see whether or not he has

already purchased his equipment.

Incidentally, I am drafting a letter now for use in connection with
the half dozen or so other inquiries you have received to date and
we will see if we cannot get some orders for shipment just as soon
as we are in production.

It was good to note your letter of September 22 as concerns your in-
terest in having us speed up things a little and go out after the
available business. That's the spirit, Phog, and believe me, we are
not letting any grass grow under our feet. However, we are not tool-
ing up to do a small local business but are looking ahead to a vast
national business, am it is going to be about four to six weeks at
the outside before we will be in production and able to go after Goal-
Hi business in a big way.

In any event, we are going to try to solicit some business now, even
though advertising material is not available, and we will see what
happens.

We are inclined to agree with you as concerns the promiscuous distri-
bution of rules books to other than customersgof ours. I think it is
going to be a case of establishing a price o (SO Lente for each copy,
and then give a topy away with each order. This may have a tendency
to discourage the fellow who has other equipment from expecting us to
furnish him with the rules, and will also be an "out" for you when ap-
preached by Coaches and others asking for a rules book. Yo can refer
them to us and we will handle in the above manner.

In any event, Phog, please be assured that we are as anxious to get
started as are you.

Kindest regards.

Mre Edward Je Medart, President,
Fred Medart Menufacturing ee
Ste Louis, Missouri e

Dear Mre Medart :

Your favor of the 27th instant has been received and
I wish to thank you for your fulsome explanation regarding your
many troublesome angles that a manufacturer is confronted with
in producing and promoting a product that may or may not goe

To my untutored business mind, I em still hazy as to
why the American public can be sold on an article for the same
relative appearence for the difference in the quoted prices of
the two articles, namely Uni-goal and Goal<Ifi. Lowe and Campe=
bell, with at least a 30% "take", advertise the Uni-goal at
$15.75, and Roy Weinzettel tells me that he will have to have
$21.75 for the non-adjustable height permanent goal which con-

. Peres with Uni-goal. To my way of thinking it does not take an

experienced business mind to see what the American buying public
a ae yet these two are set up side by side with each

other regardless of any amount of money that is spent on an ad~
vertising schemes

You did explain very definitely to me, Mr. Medart,

You protably are correct in the fact that I became
& little impatient, and I am sorry to say this is always the
case when you have an individual who is an accessory to the fact /

in regard to the special machine that you are build-
roll the base, I wrote Roy that the heavy iron base if it
rs is very impractical. We tried a game indoors
fron base and 4¢ causes the players to stub their
p as the reach for the ball near the basket. The

was for that reason that I wrote Roy about the rubber
as ean alternate for the indoor work. Or, instead
suction cups there is a possibility of using a
base with a steel frame-work inside to give it the

ceplitete

necessary weight, which would extend upward fron the floor in
slightly concave shapes

Now, I can hear you say how impractical that is because
it will rum up the cost more. But my notion was that before you
went through with the expenditure for a special machine to roll
base you possibly could work on a base that would still have
necessary weight to hold the base in place and yet it could be
ded in Se ee this objectionable feature of stubbing

on the base of iron better than one inch high would be ree

wrote me regarding the convex backboard and the difficulty he had
with Mre Porter, and then he followed that up with an inquiry re-
garding the electric time clock and score board, and I believe
there have been one or two other details. I was of the opinion
that for an incidental fee of say 5200 or $300 it would compensate
me for the time and the technical Imowledge that I have of those

working of the national organizations, such as the Coaches Assoc=-
iation, the Rules body, and other allied bodies, that I could have
meade a hookeup with these people in such a way that I could have
served your corporation very successfully. lowever, I see that I
was wrung and we will just forget it.

I am paid fairly good compensation here at the Univer
ae and naturally when those inquiries came to me I gave them
my immediate and best possible attention. It was for such things
as this that I had an idea my lmowledge would be worth something

Dr. Forrest C, Allen,

‘Director of Physical Education and Recreation
University of Kansas

Lawrence, Kansas

My dear Dr. Allen:

Roy has shown me your letter of September 25 and I am answering it
without.any suggestion on his part that I do so,

We did not strike accidentally upon the prices we contemplate apply-
ing to the several types of Goal-Hi. These prices all resulted from
very careful calculation.

First of all, we have to give a dealer or distributor discount up to
33-1/3%; we pay the freight; we pay royalties, and we hope they will
be substantial; and we start off with a higher cost unit than the one
you were comparing the Goal-—Hi with.

Now, the next question is who is going to know anything about Goal—Hi
unless we pump a lot of money into advertising and sales promotion.
You talk about the cost of $200.00 for the rules book, That, my dear
man, is only a drop in the bucket. My first appropriation made to Roy
the other day for sales promotion on Goal-Hi was $5,000.00. We have
to sell quite a few units to get that back at an average of a few dol-
lars per unit allowed for advertising and sales promotion.

/ When this $5,000 is used up and it appears to me that additional funds
are necessary to promote this new game, then new funds will be appro-
priated,.

We go into this thing gambling considerable money on possible success,
We think we are right but this will either be a big thing or nothing.
I can drop a ‘dead one" as fast as anybody in the world,

When you were in St. Louis recently, I thought I explained to you, to
your understanding, how we could sell our standard equipment at a fig-
ure comparatively close to our cost; the difference between selling
standard equipment in that manner and selling an item like Goal-—Hi as
a result of intensive and expensive advertising.

I am afraid you are becoming a little impatient. I saw several
letters from you the other day, to the effect that we should hurry
this thing though to pick up one or two sales here and there. That,
in my opinion, is not the right thing to do. We have to plan our
entire campaign and that is more important than the manufacture of
the unit, but even to manufacture it we have to make patterns, and
I am now building a special machine to roll the base, all of which
runs up into considerable money.

I believe that you are going to be very well satisfied with the re-
sult of your earnings from this item, but you will have to bear in
mind that I am the one who is laying out the real money, and if I can ©
be patient under the circumstances, I think you will have to be, too.

If this thing does not go over, you are going to lose very little, if
anything, because we will sell enough to compensate you for the time
you have put in on this item, but my Company stands to lose a sizable
sum of money.

Roy has spoken to me about your desire to be engaged as a consultant,
and he has shown me your letter of September 25 regarding this. I do
not know, at the moment, in just what manner your services might be
used, but for this Company to pay you any fair.sum of money would
necessitate some definite and concrete thought as to what worthwhile
service could be performed, It occurred to me, when I spoke to Roy,
that maybe there is a possibility of organizing local conferences and
rules committees on the game of Goal-Hi, and such work would probably
require the whole-time services of a man like yourself, but, as I see
it, some of these bigger thoughts are a little in the future.

At the moment, we have three or four different ideas about marketing
and promoting Goal-Hi, and we want to make tests of different market—
ing methods to prove or disprove some of these theories.

I think you will have to leave the selling of this to us, although we
will, of course, always be glad to have your suggestions. If we do

not have any greater worries than "Uni-Goal" selling at a price below
ours, we will be on easy street,

I think you want me to speak frankly, just as I have in this letter,
Anyway, that has always been a habit with me and I cannot do otherwise,

With best regards, I remain
