Dear Dr. Allens

Your letter of April 27 addressed to Mr. Chervenka has been
held pending my return and, as requested, I am enclosing a.
folder announcing our Climbing Ball, which is the apparatus
you saw in our plant when in St. Louis.

The net cost of one of these Climbing Balls, f.o.b. St. Louis,
would be $89.60, with delivery in about six weeks. As you

know, we were just getting into this product when you were in

St. Louis, and now that we have it satisfactorily constructed,
there will be some delay in getting material and parts together, ©
which accounts for the six weeks delivery mentioned above.

Concerning the question of lighting for your playground, as was
discussed when together in New York, I note that the Crouse—
Hinds Company of Syracuse, New York, manufacture a night flood-
light, and that Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company,
Lighting Division of Cleveland, Ohio, also manufacture flood-
light equipment. Whether or not these two companies could give
you a wire screen, electrically charged, for the purpose of
exterminating insetts, is something I was unable to learn at
this end. No doubt an inquiry to them would bring you the
desired information.

Cordially yours,

FRED MEDART MANUFACTURING COQ.
