4 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J an . 31, 1907. BUSSEY’S “DEMON DWYERS.” GEO, G, BUSSEY & CO. , LTD. 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 fine&t stock of WILLOW TIMBER has been accumulating, and now repre­ sents about 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 BATS. Cricketers may therefore rely upon BUSSEY’S “ DEMON DRIVERS” being the choicest selection from this enbrrnous 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 — CEO.
