Lakeside and to Schaper called <u>SHAKE A LEG</u>. Both <br> | |||
companies rejected it, the latter saying it was like <br> | |||
<u>COOTIE</u>. Now [illegible crossed out] <u>Garrity</u> of Schaper says they are <br> | |||
coming out with a <u>Marvin Glass</u> thing called <u>SHAKE A LEG</u>. <br> | |||
The game seems somewhat different from Frank's, but <br> | |||
makes use of a descending marble timer which Frank <br> | |||
used in his game. Frank will check with Garrity when he is <br> | |||
in Minneapolis. Jerry thinks that someone at Lakeside may <br> | |||
have told Marvin Glass. <br> | |||
<u>Frank</u> has an item, <u>TILT BINGO</u>, which Jerry thinks is <br> | |||
great. Got only a rough idea about a "Bingo" type board <br> | |||
mounted over a bowl so that balls can be tipped into <br> | |||
the bowl. Object to get five in a row. Schaper and Parker <br> | |||
both rejected it, but the latter asked him to resubmit it <br> | |||
for consideration next year. <br> | |||
Jerry is not doing well this year at all. Last year he made <br> | |||
$32,000 on {Illegible crossed out] <u>PLUG A JUG</u> - this year so far <br> | |||
about $500. <u>THE HOOKER</u> is down from several thousand <br> | |||
to several hundred. (<u>THE HOOKER</u>, incidentally, is an old <br> | |||
idea he sold to Rathcon, never saying it was his original <br> | |||
idea.) The <u>IMPUZZABLES</u> are good for a few thousand a year. <br> | |||
Jerry showed me <s>some of</s> the things he was showing to Parker <br> | |||
and then, if not bought, to Schaper and Lakeside. Some were <br> | |||
crafts and some were children's games. The others are: - <br> | |||
<u>CHERRY GO ROUND</u>. (Really a children's game but we played it.) <br> | |||
