Invention Brings Village Reputation for Manufacturing To be listed among the many virtues 'of which Kenilworth may boast as a village is. one that hitherto has not been listed--that of being a manufac- turing community. Golf followers of the village will feel particularly gratified to learn that the product of the community's newest en- terprise fills a long felt need among would-be sportsmen in that field. It is known as "Headown" and has been patented under the laws of the United States. It is now on the mar- ket at a nominal sum and, it is re- ported, is already finding favor among golf enthusiasts who have not as yet achieved all of the proficiency of the expert. When Richard Wolfe, Kenilworth trustee, was bitten severely by the "Golf Bug" some time ago and began to take his game seriously, he found himself handicapped by an inability to keep his head down while driving. Mr. Wolfe enjoyed a rather distinct embarrassment over this apparently uncontrollable error in technique and pondered deeply and at length by long and devious process of reasoning, ar- riving finally at certain conclusions which he proceeded to convert into a corrective system for his wayward neck muscles. Shortly thereafter he appeared upon the golf course smiling complacently and, whenever abovt to swing a club, wearing immediately below his chin a small circular rubber object. His friends waxed curious, trans- lated this curiosity into questions and learned that it was a "Headown." The idea pleased them and at their insis- tance Mr. Wolfe transcribed his idea into commercial form. INSURANCE! All Its Branches IS YOUR PROPERTY FULLY INSURED?
