Overcome weeds

Begin Flexi-combing early in the season. Comb out accumulated plant material to provide bette, growing conditions. A thatch layer sheds water, prevents fertil izer from getting down to the soil

Reduction of thatch by Flexi combing promotes healthier grow ing conditions — reduces disease

Use Flexi-combs on mowers to overcome existing thatch and pre-vent its reoccurrence.

Flexi-combs fit Toro and Worthington mowers . . . Combs are mounted permanently on mowers — easily locked out of operating position when their use is not required . . . Improved design provides easier depth adjustment.

Clubs that Fit Make Any Golfer

A Better Golfer You know this to be true — any golfer will play a better game if his clubs really f i t him. Kenneth Smith clubs are handmade to f i t your customers' individual measure-ments, scientifically matched — all clubs in a set identically swing balanced.

No other clubs are so matched and so balanced. That's the reason 30% of men who play Kenneth Smith clubs shoot in the 70's, whereas the national average (all makes of clubs) is only 2 ' /2% (from an impartial, national survey).

Pros: Write for new booklet that helps you sell Kenneth Smith clubs.
