Mr. Pullman. Yes; he already had them.
Mr. Griffin. But you didn’t have them out there?
Mr. Pullman. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. Oh, you had them for the first full day?
Mr. Pullman. Yes, he called me just before the show opened, about a day before the show opened, and that following night he brought them over. As a matter of fact, we tried to get them there at the time because they were going to have a big to-do with the opening—the publicity and all—for the exhibits, which come about anyway, but that was one of the things I recall. I know it was on the same day—he came across with them on the same day—he brought over about three dozen, and that’s all he had, and we sold about a dozen and I paid him whatever I got for them.
Mr. Griffin. What was he charging for each one?
Mr. Pullman. $2.95.
Mr. Griffin. What sort of commission did he plan to provide for the distributor?
Mr. Pullman. Well, he didn’t know for sure what he was going to pay—he had no idea—40 percent off or 50 percent off or, if he didn’t have a distributor, he was going to be the distributor. He would have hired salesmen.
Mr. Griffin. Do you know if he made any efforts to inquire into producing the thing himself?
