                           Dear
                                       Enclosed you will find 4 sample 1,"o-Snag Tags and a
                           catalc gue.   --   .j They did not send the thru pins. As you can
                           s;ee from the enclosure, these ta.gs can be marked by a factory
                           process to embed the numerals.
    2                                   We had a question
                                                                There are several means to re-
                           duce this-
                                       6    orient the tag parallel to the direction of travel
                                       0    add a triangle-sl;iped stiffe--ilig piece to t-r-e tag lobe
                                       0    add a .vire reinfor2cement men!iber
                                            have tags made with t%vo pin-thru holes, or glue two
                                            tags together end to end.  I have glued the    'tags
                                            together with neoprene cement - this ce-,,nent being
                                            'lex'ble
                                       Despite the fact that it:- would seer-q very si2mple td cast tags of
                            of one's preferred'shape, I feel that there is already a good bit of design
                            value in the pr.-sent models, particularly with respect to the pin-thru seal
                                       Please advise us if these are satisfactory, ancl if you would M-a
                            the matter to be pursued further.
                                                                 Yotirs truly,

                             Other breeders have, and are,   trying to introduce a variation o2n the
