Noble, President of the Life Savers Corporation to Mrs. Julius A Page, Jr at Chapel Hill Country Club, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This is Champion Golfer Estelle Lawson Page. Nice color illustration of a roll of Pep O Mint Life Savers at upper right. Estelle Page got three holes-in-one within 15 days of each other and I think (but am not positive) that this is one of those, however she had 17 total during her career. Here is the Wikipedia entry (with a few additions) for Estelle Lawson Page: Estelle Page, née Lawson (March 22, 1907 - May 7, 1983) was an American amateur golfer. A native of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, her father was Bob Lawson, the first athletic director at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He introduced basketball to the university. She graduated from Chapel Hill High School (Chapel Hill, North Carolina) where she played tennis and basketball. In 1935, Lawson won her first of seven North and South Women's Amateurs at the Pinehurst Resort, a record that still stands. In 1936 she married Julius A. Page Jr. and made their home in Chapel Hill. At that year's U.S. Women's Amateur, Page won the medal for the lowest round during the qualifying matches and won the medal again in 1937. Her most important victory came in 1937, when she won the U.S. Golf Association Women's Amateur Championship, held that year at the Memphis Country Club. In the thirty-six-hole match play final she defeated Patty Berg 7 and 6. At the end of 1937 she was runner-up in the Associated Press voting for outstanding U.S. female athlete; Golf Magazine voted her the outstanding woman golfer. The next year she again advanced to the national finals against Miss Berg but lost 6 and 5. In 1938, at Westmoreland Country Club, the two met again in the finals, this time the victory went to Berg. When women's golf became professional in the 1940's she decided to remain an amateur. Page was part of the U.S. team that won the 1938 Curtis Cup and ten years later she was part of another Curtis Cup winning team. She won three straight North Carolina Women's Amateur Match Play Championships (1950–52), nine Women's Carolinas Amateur between 1932 and 1949. and retired with 22 tournament victories to her credit. Following the creation of the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in 1963, she was part of the first group to be inducted. Page died in 1983 and was interred in the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery in Chapel Hill.VG+ condition. Slight edge and corner wear. Normal mailing folds. Small light crease at upper left.
