We have received a couple of issues
of your magazine " Play M eter" .
We have not formally subscribed to
this magazine, but enjoy it very much
and find it very in teresting and useful. I
am wondering if I am receiving this
magazine due to the fact that I am
President of the Wisconsin Music
Merchants Association .
In any case, could you shed any light
on how long we will receive this
magazine and let us know when the
present subscription runs out so we
may resubscribe.

report on the development of tabl e
soccer in your pages as it has gained a
great deal of public acceptance and
notoriety. We would also appreciate it
if you would capitalize the first letter
of our trademark FOOSBALL when
using it in your publication so as to be
fair with us. We noticed that your
letter on page 3 says that the term
FOOSBALL is synonymous with table
soccer but it really isn't . FOOSBALL
is our brand of table soccer, which has
gained a tremendous amount of accep·
tance by the public.

The story said the Texas-style table
craze - not table soccer itself - began
in Dallas with the Tornado table - Ed.
After reading the past three issues of
Play Meter , I wanted to congratulate
you and the Play Meter staH on a job
well done. Your magazine is both
interesting and in format ive. I am
confident that Play Meter w ill be an
asset to the coin industry.
Best w ishes for a success ful future .

THE AIR CUSHION SOCCER GAME
COMBINING THE FASCINATION OF AIR CUSHION GAME S WITH THE EXCITE M ENT OF FUSSBALL
You are recelvmg Pl ay Meter be·
cause we think you'll like it enough to
want to subscribe to it. If you don't
soon, we'll have to stop sending it to
you.
From your letter, it's obvious that
you like the magazine very much. So,
how about a subscription. Hurry. We
can't stand the suspense. - Ed.
We read with interest your com·
ments in the January issue of Play
Meter on table soccer . We are particu '
larly interested in anything related to
table soccer since we introduced the
game of table soccer to Amer ica in
1964. We have expended a great deal
of effort to develop th e acceptance of
the game as a spor t by the American
public continuously since then.
Actually , your article about the
craze startinq with Toranado in Texas
is not accurate because it all started
here in Cincinna t i, Ohio . Bob Haye.s
was actually introduced to commercial
table soccer by us since he began as
one of our dealers.
We hope that you continue to
