Plus an ad for the current Rawlings catalog. Here's the glove stuff-

Thanks for sharing! Mr. Cobb sure likes his Doaks.

Cobb was player/manager for Detroit at that time. Maybe he was ordering gloves for the team?
Or he was doing some early Christmas shopping. Yeah, that sounds like something kindly ol' Ty Cobb would do. :lol:
