Today's Tidbit... Bullhorns and Blankets

The Sutcliffe Company of Louisville, Kentucky, distributed sporting goods during much of the 20th century and issued catalogs promoting their many goods. Two of their many products popped up today that relate to previous articles and Tidbits.

A July Tidbit discussed how the lower effectiveness of early lighting and loudspeaker systems required them to be installed on poles close to the field, often obstructing spectators' views. Likewise, an August Tidbit showed that announcers and others used megaphones before the loudspeakers came along.
