Lawrence , Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allen:

I am enclosing five or six sample
certificates which have already been signed by

Sam Barry and “ames “eedles, and we want you to

sign all of them and please rush back to me at
once. The shield on the certificates will be in
colors, red and blue and the certificates will be
on parchment paver. I will mail you a copy as soon
as they are off the press.

Replies have been coming in at a
fair rate, but I believe that if we can put it
across this season, that next year, it will gain
in polularity. As soon as I receive these
certificates back from you, I must send to Ward
Lambert for his signature.

If you have any additional suggestions
please let me know. Best personal regards. I am,

Cordially yours,

ENC /KK
