Dear Dr. Alien:

At the next meeting of the Basketball Coaches of the Big Six Con-
ference, you will undoubtedly give some discussion to the new
modified basketball backboard recently adopted as legal equipment
by the National Basketball Rules Committee.

We respectfully submit, for your consideration, the attached folder
illustrating and describing the Medart one-piece steel backboard
and the new goal required to be used with the backboard, and en-
dorse this new product as being the finest piece of basketball
equipment we have ever produced.

Our board is ‘stamped out! of a single piece of steel with the side
flanges being part of the front surface, and consequently,there are
no raw, uneven edges at the junction of the flanges and the banking
surface. .

We believe you will note that our prices are very reasonable and are
comparable to what you might expect to pay for a less satisfactory
plywood board.

Naturally we shall be very pleased indeed for an opportunity to sup-
ply you with any additional information that may be wanted concern-
ing this new product, and likewise a copy of our servige manual “Re-
placing Your Basketball Backboards" is available to agg interested
parties.

Cordially yours,

FRED MEDART MA .
