GOLFS MARKET PLACE

Crawford, McGregor & Canby Co., Day-ton, 0., gives interesting details in its 1936 catalog of medal awards to members of the MacGregor Player-Craftsmen club, composed of workers in the MacGregor club plants and players on the excellent 9-hole course the company maintains for its employees. Many of the clubmakers have been in McGregor service for more than 20 years. Will Sime, designer of Bap woods, has been MacGregor's chief designer for 33 years.

The new "par" golf ball washer, a f t e r a year of experiment to eliminate every pos-sible "bug," is now being shipped to deal-ers and courses, according to announce-ment by Par Golf Products, Inc., 410 Hanna Bldg., Cleveland, Ohio.

The Par brushes are of sponge rubber, and only one brush replacement a season is required, according to the manufactur-ers. One to three balls can be cleaned at once. The Par sells for $8.50, or $10.00, complete with mounting post. Special lower prices in quantities.

Johnny Revolta Young Champ golf clubs for younger players.

Clubs are being manufactured by Wil-son Sporting Goods Co., who report un-usual interest being displayed by golf pros in the line.

The clubs have built into them the fine qualities of playing equipment for more expert golfers, but are priced low enough to be attractive to the younger golfers.

Carbonaire portable bar, manufactured by the Carbonaire Beverage Dispenser, Inc., 106 East 19th St., New York City, is claimed to be the first port-able beer serving unit requiring no ice or coils, or external connections to pump, gas tank, or drain. Dry ice provides both pres-sure and cooling and facilitates automatic control. It is designed for establishments where installed service bars are inconveni-ent, or too expensive. When the dry ice melts it becomes carbonic gas C02, and maintains the proper pressure on the beer, assuring delivery of beer with a lasting creamy cuff. The dry ice also refrigerates the inside of the cabinet which is an at-tractive cylindrical stainless steel con-tainer holding a half or quarter barrel of beer.

T. W. Niblett, distributor for Nortb British Rubber Co., has moved from his old location at 350 Broadway, New York City, to 11 Park Place, in the same city. The North British golf balls and the spiked rubber golf shoes provide a good pro margin, Niblett reports, and have been enthusiastically received on the Pa-cific Coast.

The spiked rubber golf shoes provide the answer to play in wet weather, and are a big help in building up business un-der weather and turf conditions that nor-mally would prevent much play.

Spalding golf ball box for 1936 intro-duces something new in the way of pack-age merchandising. The lower half of the box has a built-in display panel which im-mediately identifies the golf balls in the cellophane wrapped boats of three. The box-cover proper is attractively designed with a modern scheme, leading the eye into

the center panel which carries the brand name. Family relationship is the keynote of these new Spalding boxes, as the same design is used on the Kro-Flite, Top-Flite

and Tournament packages, with only one of the colors changing, for easy identi-fication. Another merchandising thought is that the new box is V2 in. wider than the conventional affair, which makes it stand out when put on display.

• Launching of the new Penfold American

factory will introduce to this country several ball-making methods requiring special machinery not to be found in this market or any other. Because of this, the entire plant and equipment is being im-ported. Construction and assembly of the complete layout are well under way in the mechanical shops of the Penfold-Bromford Works in Birmingham, England.

Penfold's ball-making methods, virtually 100% automatic, guarantee that the Amer-ican-made Penfolds will duplicate the im-ported balls in every detail, assure the makers.

The new American plant will be ready for shipment here by August or possibly September and production is expected to start shortly thereafter. Late winter and the 1937 requirements will be filled out of the new factory. It is Mr. Penfold's in-tention to personally supervise the initial production.

Forstner Chain Corporation, Irvington, N. J., has introduced a new sport belt that is meeting with the enthusiastic reception of golfers, sportsmen, and spectators.

These belts are flexible and expand, and are exceptionally smart with their colored

cord bindings. Lightweight and durable, they are fine for the hot summer days ahead.

Forstner Sport Belts retail at $1.50, $2.00, $3.50, and $5.00. A special narrow width model is also available at $1.00. They may be obtained at pro-shops and through department store men's wear shops.

• Arsokoll, a lead arsenate in colloidal form,

is now being offered to golf clubs by the manufacturers, Latter Laboratories, Inc., 901 Elton Ave., New York City. Advan-tage of the colloidal arsenate lies in its suitability for use in sprayers, since pow-dered arsenate settles to the bottom of tanks and clogs spray nozzles unless the solution is continually agitated; whereas Arsokoll, a creamy paste, remains in sus-pension without stirring.

The makers claim great economy in the use of Arsokoll. In addition to the more even spray coverage possible with the product, because of its even solubility, it is claimed that the product does not wash or blow away as readily as the usual pow-dered lead arsenate. About half the usual dosage is necessary per thousand square feet.

The makers have a circular descriptive of Arsokoll available on request.
