ANNOUNCING
1 PROSPERITY, THE KEYNOTE
THE GOODRICH
WHIPPET
CONTROL is the essence of the golfer's greatest need
CONTROL is the REAL bugbear of the game
Therefore, you will be particularly interested in our
new Golf Ball
THE GOODRICH WHIPPET
For it is a Ball that you can CONTROL better than any
that ever left your club !
It's a veritable "wonder ball" different in both center
and cover the biggest advancement since the rubber-core
made the good old guttie a "has been."
We are not bringing out the WHIPPET as a "new" Ball
in the usual sense it is not "new" to us. We've tested it for
a year we've proven that
With the WHIPPET you can beat your best previous
drive by anywhere from 10 to 25 yards ! We've tested every
type and the WHIPPET outdrives them all by a wide margin !
But, the biggest advantage rests right here.
The WHIPPET'S cover is RUBBER PAINTED not
enameled! Think it won't crack won't check won't peel
IT CAN'T IT'S RUBBER!
This RUBBER-PAINTED COVER comes on the
WHIPPET only it's an exclusive Goodrich feature.
It wears twice as long as enamel soil and grass stains
wash off easily, and
It enables you to control your ball better. It acts just
like chalk on a billiard cue you can get all the spin necessary
for the most difficult strokes.
The WHIPPET combines two seemingly contradictory
qualities unusual distance and a relative inelasticity for
approaching and putting. It hugs the green better answers
better you can "give it a chance" with less danger.
This eases a now immense difficulty you can play
straight up to the flag with less fear of overrunning. You
can lengthen your drive and improve your short game and
ten to one this last is where you are weakest.
Now, the WHIPPET is all ready for you is already
in the stocks of many professionals. If yours has not yet
received his supply write in to us at Akron and we shall
see that your WHIPPETS come along without delay. The
WHIPPET costs $9.00 the dozen. The line-up follows:

as it is Royal.

"Sweet are the uses of adversity", said
Mr. Kidgway a3 he warmed to his sub
ject, "but we have had so much of this
recently that it has begun to cloy and
the time has now come for America to
realize that it makes no difference
whether the war lasts one year or ten;
that it is up to her to go ahead get up
and get go to it; phrases which I am
quite sure you will all regard as ''Made

have the soil, we have the mind, we'have
the men ! J Men of muscle, brain and
heart and best of all things in the world

you will !
"In business so much daring, in fact,
that other Nations have some imes cal ed

have been building huge engines of
destruction we have been filling the
world with useful farm machinery, auto-
cannot play golf muscle-bound," con
cluded Mr. Kidgway, "we cannot
play the game of life heart-bound, and
thus it is that we came to Pinehurst for
the sunshine outside, and the sunshine
inside If It is the unburdened heart
which holds us captive."
Mr. IJidgway's "Prosperity" state
ments were promptly challenged by F. L.
E. Gauss who garbed as a manufacturer,
"butted in" and stated emphatically that
he was from Missouri and wanted to be
shown, arguing that things looked differ

plant idle. Briefly he wanted specific
proofs. 1 The toastmaster was prepared
