Founders Rick Boling and "Kreole" Freddie Yates put together the first bi-monthly issue of Make It On the Snap in the summer of 1989 in Tallahassee, Florida, operating at "OTS Publications, a division of Billiard Enterprises of Florida",[REF] and it was an immediate success.
The magazine grew and prospered until, in its second year, a series of unexpected financial reversals caused it to cease publication in December, 1991 [REF].
