4 FRIDAY - JANUARY 1974
4TH DAY - 361 DAYS TO COME

Call from Carrie of "Gamut of Games." The expanding files
are in. I'll pick them up Monday, even though Phil Orbanes
won't be in till Tuesday.

Rcd. the CRESCENDO CHESS pieces, with the rules.

B.B. gave me the 1972-1973 MAH JONGG hands. (I'll have to find
some place to keep small items like this.)

Wrote to Harley Sachs concerning POLICE STATE.
Wrote Michael Dummett. Asked for missing pages from
REGLEN DES MINCHIATTA SPIELS, and the other books if he
could get to them. Offered to send him copies of S&T.

(Actually some were press kits without catalogs.) Phil was on

Rcd. check from Hoi Polloi for $2,852.63 for Sept. thru Dec. '73 for
the p&p games - WORDPLAY, etc.

755,243 (1904).
Call from Phil Orbanes. He'd like the Kohner Pressman, and
Mag-Nif catalogs. Told him Mag-Nif doesn't have a new one but I'll
try to get the others. He'll try to get an answer from Manny on
the p&p games so that I can talk to Keith Tuggle.

Looked at the material I took from Felicia. Robert T. Hesser of
Park Ridge, Ill. (1972) had a booklet describing 3 games. The
first is ENTREPRENEUR. Each player operates a company and

basically makes a decision as to how much he will produce
and the price he will charge - 20, 25, or 30. The decisions of
