Activities are picking up this month with twenty gymnasts from Germany touring the Nissen factory. A special gymnastic exhibition had been organized at nearbyUniversity of Iowa
with the assistance of Dick Holzaepfel.
George Nissen then flew to Chicago for the National Sporting Goods Dealer Show in Chicago...
on the "Mosquito Airlines" of course!
Wow! All that Vice-President Richard Nixon's daughters (Tricia & Julie) wanted for Christmas was their very own TRAMPOLINE! Two weeks before Christmas, their wish was answered...
and the Nissen Trampoline Company received a special letter of thanks.
Also don't miss the write-up on Glen Sundby and his new Modern Gymnast magazine. George Nissen saw potential for the fledgling magazine and offered to buy 25,000 copies that would be sent to schools along
with a Nissen catalog.
