And practical wisdom in such cases lies in lodging your racquet with Yarrall’s — the premier sports goods people. You’ll be assured of expert repair work—and small charges. All summer sports goods offer better values at Yarrall’s and only the finest representative requisites are stocked. Mr T. E. Y.
