WEDNESDAY 25 FEBRUARY
1970 56th day - 309 days to come
Felicia called. We'll go to the Fair separately and then next
Monday night I'll call her and we'll exchange note.
Business is bad all over and she doesn't think there is much
chance of selling anything this year.
She asked about the performance of my 3M games so that she
could report on them to the I-S board meeting.
A company came to her with an elaborate dart GAME with a
light up board. She gave them some advice. If it works out
they will give her a game.
Registered at the Toy Fair. In the Press Room got a bunch of
news releases and picked out a lot of catalogs.
Met Geoffrey Wheeler, editor of CRAFT MODEL & HOBBY INDUSTRY.
He wrote the review on AGOG. He is thinking of doing more
material on games. I offered to advise him and he said he'd
call on me when he was ready. Exchanged cards. He gave
me a copy of his Magazine.
(I will have to go over the material I picked up, filing
the useful & discarding the rest.)
Passed Aberdeen Book Store. They are going out of business.
I bought a copy of WATSON'S PLAY AT BRIDGE for $1.25.
Picked up HAND BOOK OF REVERSI, HALMA, &C from the Photo
Offsetters.
Claude told me about a game CHINCHÓN he saw in a fairly
recent article in Look Magazine. It is a Basque
game played with cards.
The address for the game HANKY PANKY is
{ Thomas Meenan
New Milford, N.J. 07646
He went to the gift show. Not much on games. Austin
Associates had a PUZZLE (Claude had circlar) which con-
sisted of square notched rod locked together in horizontal
and vertical directions. It is like EXCALIBUR but without
the solid cube.
Claude gave me some game material consisting of
a lot of plastic pcs. of cross section as shown. These
can be stacked. (Filed in "Equipment" Box.)

Feb. PLAYTHINGS came. New products included TRADE-THE-MARKET,
a stock market game.
