452 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. Nov. 29, 1906. BUSSEY'S DEMON DRIVERS.” /^TRADE V. ( ^ fiXLDJLi I \ u u L>\\ ) MARK GEO. C, BUSSEY & CO. , L TD , , Beg to inform Cricketers all over the world that their new Peckham Factory, the largest and best equipped of its kind, is now completed. Provision has been made for a still further increase in output and the carrying of a finished stock of TWENTY THOUSAND BATS. Geo. G. Bussey & Co., Limited, much regret that for some time past the supply of the FAMOUS “ DEMON DRIVERS ” has been quite inadequate to meet the demand, but during the period of re-building, when the output was necessarily restricted, the finest stock of WILLOW TIMBER has been accumulating, and now repre­ sents about 100,000 BATS. Cricketers may therefore rely upon BUSSEY’S “ DEMON DRIVERS” being the choicest selection from this enormous stock and THOROUGHLY SEASONED. The flexibility of the Handles is just what Batsmen desire, and the special form of handle covering is the admir­ ation of all players who use “ BUSSEY’S DEMON DRIVERS.” Catalogue on application to — GEO.
