Yesterday brought a flock of Silent Radios and Packard Electric Razors from Dictograph Products, the swell little shavers going at the conclusion of play to one of the foursomes shooting for the Albee Trophy. Monogram sent in a dozen golf balls as a prize; Columbia, a trophy; and the United States Electrical Mfg. Corp. delivered, at the instigation of Kay Kamen, an army Mickey Mouse flashlight. These latest prizes bring the grand total up to approximately ten tons of valuables, — which will be showered upon delicate golfers and duffers alike at the gay shindig.
