J an . 28, 1904. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 3 BUSSEY’S “DEMON DRIVERS. < C C B - « - GEO, G. BUS EY & GO Desire to inform Cricketers all over the world who may experience a difficulty in ob­ taining “ Demon Drivers ” that this difficulty arises in consequence of the ever-increas­ ing demand exceeding the supply. Readers of G e o . G . B u s s e y & Co.’s pamphlet, entitled “ Evolution of the Demon Driver,” are aware that a fea­ ture of the success of the “Demon Driver ” is due to a special process, occupying a long period, that the bats under­ go before leaving the works, and although there are always a large number of Bats under this treatment which could be placed on the market, G eo . G . B u sse y & Co., in the interest of cricketers and their own repu­ tation, will not deviate from the system that has made the TheFinest Bat the World produces.
