Choice, close-bark English Willow, well-seasoned, is used for the blade, which is hand-hammered throughout. The handle is specially constructed on a new principle which has proved extraordinarily successful. The utmost driving power is obtained with a total absence of stinging, and it is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE HANDLE TO BECOME “ SPRUNG.” T o be o b ta in e d fro m all H ig h -C la s s A th le tic D e alers a n d Stores* 2 1 / - SolePatentees<L-Manufacturers: T H E M .C .C .
