If is the most elastic aud most durable Cushion ever offered to the bi'linrd-playinf public, ns is abundantly proven by the great demand for it since its introduction The peculiarity which distinguishes tin CAT GUT Cushion and renders it gupcrioi to all others, is the tightened cord of cat gut which overlies the face and edge of tin rubber, and running the full length of the Cushion, which prevents the ball from bed. dins into the rubber nnd jumping from th table. The addition of the cat-gut cord thio adds much to the elasticity of tho Cush ion. The CAT-GUT Cushion lias already been applied to over 1000 tables which are constant use.
