Battle For Top Post
Is Hottest Contest
In Tuesday Election
By CHESTER BULGIER
Baytown voters will pick a brand new mayor and three
councilmen at the polls Tuesday, but the political front
was quiet on the day before election. •
However, the only major issue is fairly clear-cut—econ-
omy vs. expansion and development.
C. R. (Chris) Myers, battle-scarred veteran of Baytown’s
political wars, is the only “maverick” in the bunch. He
has come out for a program of economy, including tax
reduction and elimination of the garbage collection fee.
The other two mayoral candidates, R. H. (Red) Pruett
and George Talton, agree that reduction of the city’s rev-
enues would be unwise now, while the city is carrying on a
big improvement program.
They both have pledged to carry on the program for
better sanitary sewers and sewage disposal, streets, drain-
age and water supply.
Myers is a former mayor of Goose Creek, and was city
manager of Pelly at the time of consolidation. He is a
veteran of both World Wars, and once wag a newspaper
publisher here. He is now retired.
Pruett is finishing his second term on the City Council,
and has been a staunch supporter of plans for expansion
and improvement of the city. He was the author of the
move to annex Humble property, from which the city is
now receiving about $120,000 annual tax revenues. He
manages a building firm and manages the Pruett estate
here.
Talton, an engineer at the Baytown Refinery, has never
before run for office. He became well-known in political
circles last year, however, when he managed the Eisen-
hower campaign in the Baytown area.
Retiring Mayor J. A. Ward has carefully kept out of the
political campaign this year and is not actively backing

Every Ad is A "Private Office"
Maybe you think the printer slipped when he said that "every
ad is a private office.” He didn't. Each ad-is a very important
“private office.”
When we merchants take white space and talk to you in it,
it is just the same as if we had invited you Into a very com-
fortably furnished private office to tell you, personally about
something whieh we feel will be of special benefit to you.
Actually, that "private office” is a part of your very com-
fortable home. Here you are, sitting at ease, reading this news-
paper. As you read what we say we Ijave your undivided atten-
tion. We are talking to you, personally, just as tf you were alone
with us in that “private office."
W hat we want is your “reader opinion” of our ads. Don’t try
to be technical. Don’t attempt to be an expert. The “law of
averages" when we count up the answers from alt of you, makes
those S names from each of you very, very important.
