Mr. Hubert. Did you have any kind of a punchboard operation?

Mr. Ruby. No; that was before. That was the Spartan Novelty. Mine was just selling—no, I sold some punchboards, that is right. I sold some punchboards with my operation for about a year.

Mr. Hubert. These were candy punchboards, were they?

Mr. Ruby. Right.

Mr. Hubert. Where you might win some candy, is that correct, if you punched the right number?

Mr. Ruby. Well, they could win a box of candy or win a pen set, I think it was.

Mr. Hubert. What area did you operate in as to the Earl Products Co.?

Mr. Ruby. Well, I operated it through Earl Mail, more or less, through advertising in the Billboard Magazine, and I shipped in, it wasn’t a large operation, but I shipped out of State all the way across the country. I don’t remember the States, but I did ship quite a few States over the years.

Mr. Hubert. And you were alone at the time?

Mr. Ruby. Yes, I was by myself then.
