JANUARY 1974 - FRIDAY 11
ALEXANDER HAMILTON BORN 1755 - 11TH DAY - 354 DAYS TO COME

Rcd. letter from Alfons Rubbens. Earl Doherty left in July of
1973.
Their only new adult game for '74 will be GAME OF NATIONS, but
one that is totally different from the J. Waddington game. He
also included a poster advertising the game - with both com-
pany names on it.
KGB and a $6 BACKGAMMON set did well in '73. He didn't
send the list price of KGB.
He won't be at Toy Fair.
MULTIOPSONY is bad, very bad.
He'll look for my HOLEY TERROR model.
