Dear Mire Poynter:

i au very sorry to tell you that the Service Rubber
Compamy, of Rock Island, Illinois, failed a couple of years
ago and in the reorgenization they decided to discontinue the
making of certain lines of stoek and one of those things they
discontinued was the making of the Phog Allen basketball shoes

If you will write me what size you wear i will
endeavor te ses if I can locate a pair for you on the market.
_ The shoe sells for $3075, and if you care to send me a check
for that amount f will get you a pair and mail them to yous

I feel very much disappointed about this, as I have
used the shoe in coaching and I have also used the shoe on my
boys ee ee ee
bruises of any shoe that I have ever used. i

i may when I have a little time work on an improved
shoe and submit it to another manufacturer, but I have just :
finished a new basketball book which is published by McGraw= —
Hill Book Company of New York, and which they are getting out
the first of Decanbere I am sending you a short synopsis of
the material at hands ‘I thought you might perhaps be interested —
ere ee

Very sincerely yours,

FOAsAH i Director of Physical Educatione
