FRIDAY 29 DECEMBER 1967
363rd day - 2 days to come
Walt was telling me about a football game his kids were given -
ALL-PRO FOOTBALL (Ideal). He said there were some points
he didn't understand and I said I'd try to look at it over
the weekend.
At B & N saw that they had a display of (only) 3M
games right at the check out counter with two catalogs
available. The checkout girl said that they were selling
well.
To Felicia & Alice's apt. with BB. They had rcd. a letter from
Bill Caruson with a lot of store ads featuring HIGH BID
(many had ACQUIRE too as well as the other games). Bill
said they allow 60¢ a game for the retailer to use for
advertising (60¢ off on the price) and the store picks the
game(s) they want to feature. He also said that the
fair trading agreement they insist upon had slowed sales.
somewhat in 1967, but it seems to be paying off.
Played several games of TAKE A NUMBER with Alice and won
them all. She still prefers DOZEN DIAMONDS.
At B & N bought PUZZLES & PARADOXES by T.H. O'Beirne
O'Beirne.
Alice insisted that Phillips had had a number cube GAME
prior to being taken over by Parker. She is going to write
to Hank Simmins for confirmation. I said they didn't.
