STAN THOMPSON'S "RAINBOW" WOODSStan Thompson Golf Co., makers of cus-

tom clubs, reports a highly gratifyingsales reception for its line of coloredwoods. The driver is red, the brassie isgreen, the spoon is violet, the 4 wood isyellow and the 5 wood is orange in this"rainbow" line. The clubs are availablein men and women's clubs with usual prodiscounts. Stan uses his own special mix-ture of baked enamel finish on the clubs andsays they are virtually dent-proof. He gotthe hunch from the popularity of color inbags and c1ubhead covers, with some in-spiration from Jimmy Demaret's valet. Theline went over well at winter resorts andhas good early season sales elsewhere.
