We believe in sports; we believe in the great out-doors; we
believe the outside of a horse is the best thing for the inside of a
man -and that golf will upset the notion that every generation

And we handle goods for all these ideals as though we were
professors just a-helping.
And yet the new-era Gimbel prices rule.
