TEL. ARMITAGE 7702-03-04 1259 NORTH WOOD ST., CHICAGO..... May 2, 1939 University of Kansas Lawrence Kansas Gentlemen: Mr. Forrest C. Allen We are sending you three of our A basketballs made of Gunnison leather. Mre Riddell is very anxious that you should have these in order to try them out and to see what our balls will be like for next year. As you perhaps know, our ball has been approved by the National Federation Committee, but their stamp will not appear on these balls as they were made before we had gotten the dies for stamping the balls. We will be glad to hear from you as to how you like these balls. Very truly yours JOHN T. RIDDELL, INC. By CO sn ecalobeee, CMR + LMB
