On May 3, 1957, a craftsman, possibly Panther Woodworking owner George Panther, was hard at work designing a new game called "Soccit." The game closely resembled Foosball, with the goal being to move the ball into the net. Mr. Panther opened Panther Woodworking at 302 E. 26th Street around 1957. The business specialized in cabinets but was also versatile enough to construct wooden toys. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association. (see D106962 image 38 for the finished project)
