Spalding's Official Baseball Guide (1887)

Our line of Base Balls is now so well known to the trade, and they are so thoroughly appreciated by the base ball players of the country, that it seems almost unnecessary to call special attention to their superior merits. Spalding’s League Ball, having stood the severe test of the National League for the last eight years, and having again been adopted as the official ball of that leading organization for 1887, as well as most of the other prominent associations, gives it a reputation and sale unequaled by any other ball on the market. It is made of the very best material, in accordance with the latest League requirements, and with every League Ball sold is given a guarantee that it will stand a full game without ripping or losing its shape.
