Dear Dr. Allen:

The basket ball programs for the
1958-59 basket ball season totalled 16,500 and cost us
75.00. Last year with a ten game schedule they cost us
89.25.

I know the programs serve a definite
purpose, and the basket ball fans have become accustomed to
having them. I am wondering what you think about the cost
of these programs?

It seems to me that it runs into
quite a little item of expense, which I believe we could
eliminate or at least cut down somewhat by having some
basket ball player with a little sales ability solicit the
advertising from some reliable merchants down town.

By doing this we might be able to
put out a more elaborate program, and even enable the boy
soliciting to make some money, if the thing was handled
properly.

I trust that you will understand
that I am not critizing, but I think that sometimes it is
well for these things to be called to one's attention as
the cost may be considerable more than you had thought it
was.

Sincerely yours,

oe
