Dear "Phog"

Thanks for your letter relative to my handling the adver-
tising promotion for the NCAA Western Semi-Finals and the
National Finals Basketball games next month.

By all means your mimeographing of stories should be done
in Lawrence at such an extremely low cost. That would save
several dollars and in this day and age every dollar has a
big value to all of us. We do not even make any commission
on any multigraphing or mimeographing and we are therefore
very anxious to save every dollar possible for our clients.
Having the work done at Lawrence should also not cause any
delay as we can mail the material out of here at night

and it will reach Lawrence in the morning.

I appreciate everything you say,"Phog", relative to the

two tournaments to be staged in Kansas City. I think you
appreciate my position in that I am interested principally
in securing outstanding results for our clients and I also
assure you that, at no time will. anything derogative to
either feacnom eet @¢ said. I think you know that I always have
"Shot fair" in everything I have ever handled in a busi-
ness waye

“I want to drive up to Lawrence and discuss the whole matter
with you on promotion,and iron out the details as quickly

as possible. I can drive up Friday or the first of the
week, asking only that you advise me a day or two before,
of the time,or give me a ring on the phone. Also, I am
telling you in advance, that I think your tournament can
be promoted to be a real financial benefit - in other
words - more than simply "getting by".

With best pian and awaiting a call from you, I am

sife grely rae outer
