MANKIND owes a debt
of gratitude to those who
have proven "that all
work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy"
likewise his dad. If The
advertising golfers, who
come January 9th for
their annual tournament
which rounds out the following week, have
modernized the axiom "He pays too
much attention to business and too little
to golf!" If Here's what The New
Yorlc Sun has to say about it:
GOLF DISTINCT AID TO BUSINESS
"He pays too much attention to his
gulo. and too little to his business, ' ' is the
criticism that often is made to the devotee
of the royal and ancient game. In some
cases the criticism may be a just one, but
it is the fault of the player, not of the
game. In fact golf has proved in recent
years a distinct aid to many men in the
furtherance of their business interests.
The outward and visible sign of this fact
is the ever growing list of trade golf as
sociations. If There is a host of these
trade associations composed of men in the
same line of work who have discovered
that a day together on the links now and
then is a splendid corrective of many of
the evils that are likely to creep into busi
ness life, especially where competition is
keen. In these trade golf associations
each man sees his competitor in a new
light, under conditions which bring out
their best qualities, and the remembrance
of the trade association tourneys has cut
short many a scheme to overreach a rival.
At least that is what the leaders in the
trade associations say, and presumably
they are speaking from experience.
MANY TRADE ORGANIZATIONS THE RESULT
A list of these organizations would be
a long one, and the number is growing
all the time, as the golfers in various
occupations form new associations of this
kind. Nearly every big golfing city has
its own local trade association, such as
the architects, the brokers, the engineers,
the carpet men, the wool merchants, the
dry goods men and many others. Then
there are several national trade golf as
sociation s which draw their members from
all parts of the country, and are an im
portant factor in the business life of the
nation. If Established almost eleven years
ago, the Winter Golf League of Adver
tising Interests claims the honor of being
the pioneer in this important field. Frank
Presbrey, a well known advertising man,
was the founder of the organization.
Back in 1904, at the Holly Inn at Pine
hurst, N. C, he suggested to L. T. Boyd,
William C. Freeman, Arthur S. Higgins,
publisher who gets paid for it all meet
at Pinehurst every winter and play in
the annual tourney, which lasts a full
week. And despite this bringing together
of the men who want to do business with
each other, the cardinal rule of the asso
ciation is that all business talk is taboo
at Pinehurst. The man who is found
soliciting business from his partners or
opponents on the links soon finds that his
presence is no longer desired. It is
largely because of this muzzling ordi-

S. II. Martel, W. R. Roberts and John
B. Woodward that such a league be
formed. His suggestion met with instant
approval and the first tournament was
held before a week had passed.
MEMBERSHIP SHOWS CONTINUED INCREASE
Since that time the league has increased
its membership to 166. Its by-laws pro
vide for the admission of men who are
engaged in all departments of advertis
ing. The merchant who pays for the ad
vertising, the broker who places it and the
nance that so many sections of the coun
try have joined the league and may be
found at Pinehurst each year when the
week of the advertising men's tourney
arrives. It is all golf and good fellow
ship with, business forgotten until the
members of the league are back in their
offices again.

"Made In the United State" Itenorts
Pinehurst occasionally has a "cloudy
day." They remind Sandy, the club
maker, of auld Scotland, and Greens
keeper Maples wishes there were more of
'em. If Explanation this year is that
European "war clouds" have drifted
across the pond not the tenth ! If The
honor of the discovery lies with Mr.
Ralph Page and Miss Helen Smith;
evidently the idea came to both at the
same time. If Incidentally we might
mention that Pinehurst continues to lift
the embargo on across-the-water winter
pleasures. Lot of people are going to
forget about the "other side" when the
cruel war is over and then they'll be
sorry! TfWhat a blessing sunshine is I
