SPALDING ACQUIRES B A W t l N G S STOCK IN $5,690,000 DEAL

Stockholders of A. G. Spalding ft Bros.. Inc., Chicopee, Mass. approved the pur-chase of capital stock of Rawlings Mfg. Co., St. I.ouis, Mo. at a special meeting held in December. Cash involved in the trans-action amounted to $5,698.1)00.

Acquisition of the Rawlings company puts Spalding back into the manufacture of lines it had dropped in '30s. These in-clude baseball mitts and gloves, footballs and football uniforms and protective equipment . In the last two decatles Spald-

ing has been primarily a manufacturer ol golF balls and clubs and tennis rackets, al-though it has served as a sales outlet for Rawlings products dur ing that time.

When plans lor the acquisition of Raw lings were revealed in November, both Walter B. Gerould, Spalding pres., and Claude E. Carr, head of the Rawlings con-cern, emphasized that Rawlings* sales force would remain intact and continue to serve its regular customers. Golf and tennis equ ipment has been added to the Rawlings line and a new branch for Rawlings will be opened in Dallas early this year.

T h e Spalding line also is being handled by its own separate sales force and dis-tr ibuting depots. A new depot for servic-ing Spalding customers will be opened in Cleveland about Mar. 1. Manufacture ol all equ ipment bandied by the two com-panies is being carried on in both Spald-ing and Rawlings factories.

Under the purchase agreement, Spalding j),lid Rawlings stockholders $100 per share for preferred slock plus accrued dividends, and $375 per share for common plus ac-crued dividends. T h e $375 price for the common was $105 a share in excess of its book value on | une 30, 1955.

I he club's new special T r u e T e m p e r Rocket shaft has reduced t ip diameter and transmits no perceptible vibration to the hands, f ield tests have shown no tendency lot the head to twist or qui t : no head shim-my no matter how hard you swing.

T h e new Dynn-Powered irons have a deeper toe and shallower heel. Besides add-ing beauty this new shape will help goiters get the ball in the air. Squaring of the toe- and a beveling of the face side of the toe make the ball s tand out against the blade.
