In reply I wish to say that the Board had already mentioned this possibility to Pro- fessor Nash but at that time he declined on the theory he would not have time since he had these Childrens" Clinics.

This discount applies on the ones on this sheet -- the price that we quoted on the special 40' net is a net price. You will notice that targets for these golf nets list at $24.80 onthe sheet attached; however, it is our sugges- tion that you purchase an archery target face in the large size, @s described on Page 107 of the Lowe & Cempbell cateloge The R187 Extra Face in the 48" size will cost only $105. A target face of this kind is made in such a way that it fits eround the straw tearget,but the edge which has a cord thru it can be cut off very easily; then you can sew it to the net backing e This target face is just an idea end if such e face would serve the purpose, one could be purchased at a very low pricée ( te Ever-up rubber tees of the type mentioned to) you on the phone are in our stock at 25¢ each. PF: JP LOWE & CAMPBELL GOLF PRACTICE NETS SQUARED MESH LIKE IN TENNIS NETS Some people prefer squared mesh in golf nets as it hangs a little straighter than dia- mond mesh and is in some cases neater in appearance. It is a little more expensive, however, and has the disadvantage that it may be more easily broken because it is more rigid and does not “‘give’’ as much as the diamond mesh when struck by a ball. It can be supplied in all the\regular sizes of mesh and twine.

A ball driven through a canvas might cause serious damage. We recommend that the back be made of No. 6 duck and in the shape of a shallow box as shown in the illustration.
