We have just received advice of further successes for the HENSELITE BuWL. For the 1935-36 season, players using HENSELITE BOWLS have won the Single-Handed Championships of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and New Zealand. I To say the least of it, this is a record which cannot be beaten. The HENSELITE BOWL has been definitely proved to be the most scientifically made bowl on the market.
