[from an overview of Wright & Ditson] “Harry” Ditson, as he is familiarly called, began his successful business career as partner of George Wright in the Fall of 1879, and though very young then, he possessed great forethought and judgment in the growth of athletic sports. Having witnessed a game of lawn tennis, he at once saw that the American public would make it a popular sport, and he devoted much of his time to building up a reputation on the game in this country, and his firm has control of nearly all lawn tennis appurtenances of any note in the United States and Canada.
