The page from the 1917 Reach Official Basketball Guide features advertisements for Reach striking bags. The company emphasizes the quality and durability of their products. The bags are described as being in perfect shape, with all swinging bags made in a pear shape and priced between $1.50 to $8.00. Each bag is equipped with a pure Para rubber bladder, suspending cord, and lace. The double-end striking bags, made with a patented "Patent Loop" from July 3, 1900, are guaranteed not to pull out and can be installed easily in any home. This feature allows users to maintain fitness with just a few minutes of daily punching. Reach offers both swinging and double-end bags, appealing to sports enthusiasts by promoting improved conditioning without the risk of "barked knuckles" when used.
