interested in subscribing to ''<u>S & T</u>''. He rcd. <u>NEW DEAL SOLITAIRE</u>.
<u>Felicia</u> called. She asked me the name of the new gadget by 3M  <br>
-<u>KRESKIN'S KRYSTAL</u>- and she said it was doing very poorly.  <br>
Told her that I rcd. <u>NOMINATION</u> back from <u>Mary Hilt</u>. She said  <br>
to hold onto it. No one else would be interested in it.  <br>
I told her the name of the new 3M sports game that she had  <br>
asked about last time - <u>SPEED CIRCUIT</u>.  <br>
She asked about <u>LOTTERY</u> and I told her it was doing very well.
She said that the game business is really picking up.  <br>
She had to cut me off since someone came in.
<u>Phil Orbanes</u> called. He asked me about <u>PINPOINT</u> and <u>GUSHER</u>.  <br>
He is thinking of a similar type of gadget.  <br>
<u>Bob Reiss</u> would like to visit me next week. I told him the  <br>
time was not good for me and he'll call back.  <br>
He has a solitaire type game called <u>COOKIE MONGER</u>. There  <br>
are 24 pcs. made to look like cookies. There are 4 with 1  <br>
dot, 4 with 2 dots, etc. These are piled, following certain  <br>
rules. There is an easy way and a hard way. This will  <br>
be packaged in an apothecary jar.  <br>
If they can think of a form for <u>SPACE STIX</u> that looks  <br>
like food they may put it in the same packaging.  <br>
This series will be called "Food for Thought".  <br>
I said I'd have at least one <u>PUZZLE</u> ready to show Bob  <br>
Reiss (the one of 7/19).  <br>
He asked me my opinion of the <u>WELFARE GAME</u>. Told him  <br>
I didn't care much for it. So I'll give it a mini-review  <br>
rather than knocking it.  <br>
I asked him about <u>HOLEY TERROR</u>. He'll be seeing <u>Carl Eisenberg</u>  <br>
this week and will check with him.  <br>
I asked him about <u>MANHATTAN MADNESS</u>. It will be a few months  <br>
before there is an answer but Phil thinks that <u>Bob Hallowell</u>  <br>
will find a way to do it.
<u>Felicia</u> called again. She rcd. <u>AIRLINE</u> and <u>MARLBORO COUNTRY</u>  <br>
from <u>Mary Hilt</u>. She'll try <u>AIRLINE</u> elsewhere, possibly  <br>
Avalon Industries. There is a good chance that they may  <br>
be taking one of <u>Al Richter</u>'s craft items.  <br>
