This advertisement appeared in the Irish Times this day 100 years ago. Coincidently one of our founding fathers Marmaduke Devitt was employed as a maker and repairer of golf clubs, fishing rods etc in J W Elvery & Co and worked in their Lr. Sackville Street branch (now known as O’Connell Street) selling and mending golf clubs and fishing rods.
It was through his work here that he met Tussy Murray and Dudley Stuart and their friendship developed and as the saying goes “the rest is history”.
