I mentioned <u>CUISINAIRE</u> and will get more info for him. <br> | |||
Among the companies he wanted catalogs for were : - <br> | |||
"Block House" - (which I found out was a manufacturer's representative) <br> | |||
"Wolverine" - <br> | |||
"Educards" - <br> | |||
"Game of <u>TRUMPS"</u> - He'll look into this one. <br> | |||
"Spare Time" - I told him that it was taken over by "Lakeside" and <br> | |||
he wasn't interested in dealing with them. <br> | |||
"Embree" - <br> | |||
"Creative Playthings" - I already have a catalog. <br> | |||

He said they'd pay me $10 an hour (my regular rate - he said). <br> | |||
Also I can call him collect any time I feel it necessary. <br> | |||
