Sabayrac Finds Some Answers in Pro Shop Displays

Ernie Sabayrac in a book about his head-quarters, which he has made a valuable pro shop test laboratory, has a lot of good tips for pros who are constantly improving their shops.

Ernie frankly says that his firm made a mis-take in its model pro shop by not having storage space below display areas for shirts so displays could be kept at a peak at all times.

He also says that a shoe fitting stool and a Brannock shoe size measuring device are pro shop "musts." Another tip from Ernie is a "psychological bid" in selling clubs. l ie advises keeping a few clubs in reserve in the backroom so you can come up with something "special" and "exactly right" for the customer. That's a very effective idea. A1 Watrous, veteran pro at Oakland Hills CC (Detroit dist.) and Jack Isaacs, Langley Air Force Base GC, two fine players and two fine pro merchants, use that idea. Both are really experts at fitting clubs.

Sabayrac's experiments with sales-making lighting have been highly valuable because his model pro shop must depend entirely on artifi-cial light. In many pro shops, the artificial or natural light is poor for presenting clubs or ap-parel very attractively. Store lighting specialists from local electric companies should be given the problem to solve.

On the subject of lighting and color, Ernie says that at last there seems to be the right solution of the color problem in women's golf clubs. He says the Hogan Princess line is going great with colors of wood heads and grips that seem to be just right for the taste of most women golfers.

Jacobsen Entertains Supts. Thirteen course supts. from West Va. and

Di-Met P.C.C. Is New Linck

Crabgrass Killer

O. E. Linck Co., Clifton, N.J., has introduced a residual pro-emergence crabgrass control, Di-Met P.C.C. It can be applied with any conven-tional spreader. Based on principles developed by Dr. William H. Daniel of Purdue, Di-Met P.C.C. is said to kill crabgrass seed in the soil without affecting turfgrass. Its residual action continues for years, requiring only mild annual

booster shots. P.C.C. may be applied in any season. It is completely safe on a large variety of grasses. The product also kills growing chick-weed, controls poa annua and grubproofs turf.
