Desr Brother Editor:
In your September 1 issue there appeared an article of particular interest to me--entitled "Wood Is Good in ToYs for Toddlers."
I was particularlY Pleased with the recognition given in this article to Playskool Manufacturing Company.
You will understand mY Personal interest when I tell You that I was responsible for and practically the originator of what we call Playskool Institute. I organized the ToY Department of the John Schroeder Lumber Company in 1930, and registered the name Playskool Institute,
You can readilY see why this toy division was based on the idea and I quote from your article, "Wood Is Good in ToYs for Toddlers."
Wq la!9r _poll_ tbil toy business,twrd fte bqyer''was responsible for organizing the Playskool group featured in your article.
I could.not resist the temptation to tell you about the origin, and the fact that, as lumbermen, we championed and took the leadership in using wood for toys.
I certainly do appreciate your fine article and salute the writer. He did a fine job of reporting for this feature story.
