WEDNESDAY 25 AUGUST 1971
237th day - 128 days to come
Rcd. a letter addressed to me at S & T, which they forwarded.
It was from the p.r. counsel of Franklin Merchandising Co.
saying that she was delighted that I was interested in their puzzles
and GAMES and that I will be receiving info on them in a few
weeks. (They are the company that does THE GREAT DOWNHILL SKI GAME
I noticed later.)
Played some BUGS & LOOOPS with myself; then with BB. She
had a lot of trouble getting the idea.
The game which I bid on from A.H. came. In THE GENERAL
it was called ADVERTISING, but actually it is named JZ.
It wasn't much of a game, mainly an advertisement for a
Baltimore TV station.
Called Claude and left a message with Anne. Called Arthur
and told him about NYGA meeting at Earl's. He'll check with
Wald and call me tomorrow.
Call from Claude. Meeting O.K. The GAME he saw advretised by
7-Up in EBONY Magazine was called WE DUNIT. It is a card
game, with several ways to play. It can be ordered for 75 [cents]
plus 6 cap liner from 7-Up or proof of purchase from a carton,

At the Gift Show Claude saw a game called MOVIE STARS.
It is played with 70 cards and is for from 2 to 7 players.
The one in charge wouldn't give Claude any info as to when
or where it will be available.
During day called Koutrell Industries Inc. to ask for a glossy of
NINETYSEVEN. They'll send it.
Asked about their other games. RICOCHET and HAVOC are now
out and they'll mail me copies. Their factory and office
is now in Brooklyn.
Arthur called. Next Friday is O.K.
