Our business has grown ••the same way our customers grow grass.
We select the right "strains" of equipment and supplies to start with. We prepare thefield well by knowing the problems of the course superintendents in the southwest. Thenwe keep attending to our crop of business and good will by staying everlastingly on the job.
So, in the Southwest where weather and soil conditions are tough and the standard ofmaintenance is high, we've built a fine business by using the same working principles ourgolf course maintenance customers apply.
We want to brag to the whole country about the grand job southwestern greenkeepershave done in a hard year on turf. And we thank them for giving us an important role intheir success.

HOW tlo likeyou Your Members 7SCALDED-and ready to resign? FROZEN-numband knocking? JUST RIGHT -and rarln' to go?
There's only one right answer and don't laugh it out ofyour budget meeting. A one-second shriek from a steam-scalded member has cost many clubs more than an hour onthe red net-work. And beware of the member who has beensleet-shocked by sudden hots of ice water; he always hopsout ready to clean up the whole house committee. So what?Have your plumber install Powers thermo tatic showermixer. Safe - becau e they make thesedangerou extremes impossible; comfort-able - because the temperature remainscon tant wherever et; economical - be-caue they promptly deliver water at thedesired temperature without wasting hotand cold water, and time.
