Ralph Shaffer Offers
Seat Cover Bargains
Ralph Shaffer, prominent seat
cover manufacturer, announced
this week a limited supply of $20
long-wearing plastic seat covers
at $16.95, installed.
Shaffer states that this is one
of the most outstanding seat cov-
er bargains that has ever been
offered in this area and it is
made possible by a special put-
chase that he recently secured
from a leading manufacturer.
The seat covers are not only
durable and long-lasting, but al-
so are installed by men who
know how, assuring smooth fit-
ting and neat appearance.
• Door panels may be covered
with matching materials also,
Shaffer states.
Ralph Shaffer is one of the
leading seat cover men in West
Texas, fie has attained a repu-
tation for exceptional workman-
ship in tailor-made seat covers
and the firm always has ^on
hand a wide selection of new
materials and color combina-
tions.
The Shaffer staff is composed
of workmen who are highly skil-
led in various phases of seat cov-
er manufacturing and every
member of the firm takes ex-
ceptional pride in his work.

Weather Change
Within Three
Days Predicted
Weatherman Floy Pittman
took time-out a few minutes yes-
terday afternoon to gaze at the
heavens and predict that "we will
have a change in weather with-
in three days."
The carpet firm co-owner has
attained no small degree of ac-
curacy in his past weather-pre-
dicting performances. He dirln't
say whether the change would
be for the good or bad for local
people, but nevertheless, the
chances are that there will he
change in weather before the
week'.-, end, provided Pittman
still has his magic piece of car-
pet that he rubs with a few
magic words to ascertain his
weather forecasts.
Floy Pittman and his brother
Roy are owners and operators
of the Pittman Brothers Floor
Covering Company, one of the
largest floor covering companies
in Texas.
