This photo is from leatherwall forum as many others too. I collect what i can found and what is interesting to me.

The man on the catalog pics is Howard Hill, he promoted this kind of bows for the Pearson Company. The man on the left on this pic is Ben Pearson.

EDIT: Sorry for double posting, I just looked on the first thumbnail pic, the pic with the archery shop is from me (Bill Negleys book "Archer in Africa"), I posted it on the Stickbow Leatherwall some weeks ago.

You can also see the original Negley, test shooting some arrows with Ben P.
Negley is still alive and about 90 years old now. He was quite a hunter, had taken the "Big Five" with bow and arrow.
He used for usually Bear recurves up to 120#.
