From the 1960 Kittredge Bow Hut Catalog:
"Gordon bows have long been known for their fine performance and exceptionally high quality. An example of their superior "know-how," in the bow trade is the fact that 9 out of 10 professional bowyers use their famous Bo-Tuff backing and facing on their own bows.”
“Bo-Kore is another Gordon exclusive… a fiberglass cloth and maple veneer lamination cured under extreme pressure, producing a bow core which when backed and faced with Bo-Tuff adds 400 lbs. per square inch additional strength and stability. This permits the use of lighter weight limbs and gives greater speed, SAFELY, than is otherwise possible.”
“Gordon bows are available in a wide choice of designs, models and prices to fit every archer’s need. The “Royal” bows are all of similar quality and material, the difference in cost reflecting the fancier appearance of some models and additional hand work.”
