AddMwztwi 21st NATIONAL TURF CONFERENCE AND SHOW FEBRUARY 6 TO 10, 1950. HOTEL STATLER, BOSTON, MASS.

-*- * *

Plan to attend the National Turf Conference and Show. Visit the displays of the newest in supplies and equipment for economical maintenance of turf. Hear the competent Conference speakers present the up-to-date facts on fine turf care.

This annual event will bring together the most progressive turf superintendents who will benefit both their clubs and themselves in obtaining the latest information on practical turf maintenance. The advantages gained by those clubs sending their superintendent to Boston will more than offset the expense involved. Better turf for better golf is the result of the improvement of the man for the job.
