S. W., Atlanta, Ga., announces that its Fairway Hoe, which has been received so enthusiastically by users since it was introduced just two years ago, will again be promoted in the company's 1941 advertising to the golf club field. Culti-Hoe users, which include golf clubs, schools and estate owners, are unanimous in their praise of the great work the Culti-Hoe has been doing in cult ivating and aerating fa irways and other turf areas.

Typical of the comments are the fo l lowing: "We find the Culti-Hoe the best means of working our fa i rways ; it breaks up the top crust, al lowing water and air to get to the roots of the grass where the most good is obtained. W e find it also does a f ine job in ploughed ground to crush clods and level the surface to a fine f in i sh ." "The Culti-Hoe is almost a necessity to the proper care of fairways in that its use softens the fairways, keeps the crust broken and thereby aids materially in the growth of the grass."

The E v i n s Fairway Hoe will aerate and cultivate turf at the rate of 40 acres a day with a tractor. Weight is approximately 870 lbs., and is strong enough to support any weight without bending prongs, where additional weight is needed to get proper penetration in heavily crusted soils. For complete details on the Evans Fairway Hoe. and also for copies of the new 1941 Evans price list and catalog, write the Evans Implement Co., Atlanta. Ga.

Reduce your sales effort — but increase your sales. Sounds strange, you say? But not if you're located in the Lytton Building—the golf trade buying headquarters of the world. You'll then 'cash in' on the drawing power of the golf companies, golf publishers, and the golf associations located in this building.

Your Chicago Office Should Be Here!

More pros, by a wide margin, pass through the entrance of the Lytton Building than at any other address. Y O U should take advantage of the consequent greater business that 'being in* the Lytton Building gives you. Rents are rea-sonable, suites are conveniently arranged, and there's not a better maintained building any-where.

Terminal Sales Corp., 1627 W. Fort St., Detroit,

Mich., makers of the "Greens Doctor", piston type

turf plugger, announces that every report received

from "Greens Doctor" owners has been one of

100% satisfaction with the item's performance.

The "Greens Doctor" cuts a 1%" diameter plug of

turf, 2" deep, and its plunger pushes out the

plug. It is ideal for removing ball bruises, worm

casts, ant hills, weeds, etc. : also, holes can be

replaced by the same method—by lifting turf from

edge of green and placing where desired.

"Greens Doctor" is three feet high, which per-

mits work without bending. It's of steel construc-

tion, and there's nothing to «et out of order.

Hands are protected, too, by a rubber handle and

grip. Complete information on "Greens Doctor"

will be supplied upon writing the manufacturer.

The company also invites dealers to write for

proposition.

rubber stance mat, a long-lived, non-curling shoot-

ing mat, a non-clog ball hopper, and a pure balata

teeing nozzle, adjustable in height for either wood

or iron shots.

Par-Tee is self cleaning, as dirt drops through

the rubber mat to the ground beneath. It is not

harmed by water or sun. Mechanical parts are

made of rust-proof material.

Because, say the makers, it is jiossible to drive

4 times as many balls from Par-Tee as from the
