It is not often you see an original Bobby Jones news service
poster sheet and it is even more uncommon
to have the subject matter be Merion and the culmination of the Grand
Slam. To make the poster even more
desirable, also appearing on the poster is Robert T. Jones Sr.
The scene depicts Jones blasting out of the bunker at the 6th
hole and captures the ball in flight with an arrow indicator.
The caption under the picture of Jones reads in part: “Bobby Does It! For the first time in history Bobby Jones
captures all four major golf titles in one year….”
This 14 by 17 inch poster was published by
the Elliott Service Company of New York.
According to the New York library, The Elliott Service Company was established in 1913 in New York City
as a subscription photographic and pictorial news service agency providing
images for window display and advertising purposes. The service supplied large
format photographs of people, places and events of current news interest, which
were sent to its subscribers several times a week.
