James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1891

5 J A M E SL I L L Y W H I T E , F R O W D& Co. , C R I C K E TB A T S. JAMES LILLYWHITE , FROWD, & Co.'s Cane- handle Bats are universally acknowledged to be unrivalled . Being constructed on thoroughly scientific principles from the best quality and well-seasoned materials , by picked workmen, they leave nothing to be desired in point of real excellence . These bats are used by all the leading GentlemenandProfessional players of the day, in the country and abroad , and are largely pat- ronised bythe Military and Naval Services and the chief Colleges ,Schools ,and Clubseverywhere . A nimportant feature in our warehouse is a room fifty feet long , which is entirely devoted to the storage and seasoning of Cricket Bats ,which , after being madeby us from best quality and well-seasoned willow , are then thoroughly oiled and kept at a sufficiently high temperature during the winter months to bring them into first class condition for the next season , or to fit themfor export to the hottest climates . The importance of this cannot be overrated . O u rn e w" Special Driver" Bat (Frowd's Patent ) has given results hitherto unattained by anyother Bat, the driving power being greater , and stinging or concussion to the hands is reduced practically to nil . A reduction in weight of f r o mo n eto t w oouncesis also effected. T h esuccess of this Batduring 1881, the first season's use , was altogether unprecedented in the annals of Cricket , and this has been fully con- firmed by the results of the subsequent seasons . Theopinions expressed as to its superiority to any other Batare unanimous, and we are constantly receiving great numbers of perfectly spontane- ous testimonials concerning it, some of them being quite enthusiastic , from all parts of the country, and from the colonies . These testi- monials m a ybe seen at our warehouse . A nextensive Stock always on hand to select from.
