1923 Draper-Maynard Ad

The Youth's Companion was published by Perry Mason Company from 1827-1929. known as "The Companion—For All the Family," the children's magazine existed for over one hundred years until it merged with The American Boy in 1929. The November 22, 1923 issue features a Draper-Maynard full page Christmas advertisement on page 11. The ad with the D&M "Luck Dog" logo showcases a variety of sporting goods, and gift sets.

Established in 1840, D&M - Draper-Maynard Company became a pioneer in the manufacture of baseball gloves, when in 1882 it produced a padded model at the suggestion of a baseball player. In 1900 Draper-Maynard opened a new factory in Plymouth and became a major supplier of baseball equipment for both amateur and professional teams.

The business in Plymouth closed in 1937 after the death of John Maynard. That same year, P. Goldsmith Sons Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, purchased the rights to produce sporting goods bearing the Draper-Maynard name and Lucky Dog trademark. Glove Models with the "G" prefix were made at the D&M Plymouth plant, and the "DG" Prefix was made by Goldsmith. Goldsmith stopped manufacturing Draper-Maynard products in 1962 when they merged with MacGregor Sporting Goods.
