Mr. CRAFARD. Dick Lenard.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes; who is Dick Lenard?
Mr. CRAFARD. I don’t recall that, sir.
Mr. GRIFFIN. There is another one.
Mr. CRAFARD. KTVT TA 3-7110.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That is the same number that you had for Dick Gifford.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Does that indicate that there was a second call made?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe that this KTVT here was wrote down before the
other one was. It was later he give me the name Dick Gifford for the
same number.
Mr. GRIFFIN. After the entry about KTVT there is a line with nothing
written on it and there is some more writing.
Mr. CRAFARD. E. J. Evans.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you know who he was?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What is the next?
Mr. CRAFARD. Stevens Park Beauty Salon, 2140 Forth Worth.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What is the significance of that entry?
Mr. CRAFARD. Jack had me calling the beauty salons trying to get them
to promote this twist board for him.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And did you call more than one beauty salon?
Mr. CRAFARD. I called several of them around Dallas. I don’t remember
calling any in Fort Worth.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What would you do when you would call these beauty salons.
Mr. CRAFARD. Talk to them about the twist boards.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How would a typical conversation go.
Mr. CRAFARD. I’d call them and tell them——
Mr. GRIFFIN. Introduce yourself?
Mr. CRAFARD. Introduce myself and tell them that I was promoting a
twist board exerciser and tell them a little bit about the exerciser
and that we would like to arrange a deal where we could put this
exerciser in their salon, put it for sale in their salons.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And did you make any placements?
Mr. CRAFARD. No sir. Excuse me, but this one here was 2140 Fort Worth
Avenue in Dallas, Tex.
Mr. GRIFFIN. That would be in Dallas.
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes. The phone number would be WH 6-9755. Underneath that
is mail brochure. I believe we were supposed to mail a brochure to them.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Are you sure that is mail brochure and not Maisel Brothers.
Mr. CRAFARD. No, I am positive that is mail brochure, almost positive
of that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. And what were you supposed to do?
Mr. CRAFARD. Mail a brochure to this Stevens Park Beauty Salon.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did Jack have brochures printed up?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long after you started to work for him did he have
these brochures? When did he first have them?
Mr. CRAFARD. I believe it was about 2 weeks before President Kennedy
was assassinated he got them. He hadn’t got them very long.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you describe the brochures? How many pages were they?
Mr. CRAFARD. One page. It was a sheet, I believe it was 7½ inches long
and I believe it was about 5½ inches wide.
It said “Twist a waist exerciser,” and then it showed an exerciser
board. Then I believe it showed a couple of the different positions of
a person on an exerciser board. I am not positive of that.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How big were these twist boards?
Mr. CRAFARD. They were about an 8-inch square.
