A pril 13, 1905. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 51 BUSSEY’S “DEMON DRIVERS.” < C C B « GEO, G. BUSSEY & 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 e o . G . B u s s e y & Co., in the interest of cricketers and their own repu tation, will not deviate from the system that has made the TheFinest Bat theWorld produces.
