World’s First “un-platformed” court

The E.L. Wagner Company introduced the world’s first indoor “un-platformed” platform tennis court named “The Innovator.”

Their advertisement explained the benefits: “Now you can really enjoy your favorite sport, all year long, in any weather. Wagner’s inexpensive, new indoor court provides you with an ideal year round recreation center – perfect for your company, club or school gymnasium. Without a raised platform, Wagner’s indoor court can be installed quickly and easily, for considerably less than the cost of an outdoor court. Its special ‘Innovator’ playing surface assures you of a sure-footed grip and uniform bounce. And its superstructure is made of sturdy aluminum, to maintain taut, true wires.”
