3M has tried
3M has tried to get Parker to take over the line and to  <br>
get M.B. to pay them for discontinue it, both without success.  <br>
3M also hinted that they'd like <u>Reiss</u> to rep for  <br>
them, but Reiss ignored the hints. He is discontinuing  <br>
repping - with possible exception of Mag-Nif and building up Hoi Polloi.
 
Hoi Polloi is not competing with Parker or M.B. but  <br>
with the other small companies such as Pacific, Executive  <br>
Games, U.S. Game Systems with their Tarot Cards (and  <br>
Stancraft is moving into this too). with their 4 page  <br>
"stuffers" Hoi Polloi will get more and more of this  <br>
market. (I think that Earl said that they will be sending  <br>
out some 12,000,000 next year.)  <br>
