RELAX... FOR LIFE!
W'HEN THINGS SEEM ABOUT TO

It's not so simple, is it? W hy,
became relaxation begins with
correct posture. Today, /bankt to
science, we can relax in the Con-
tour Chair Lounge that has cor-
rect posture built into it. Tilt it
to the lounge position and you
simply forget about tension!
A lifetime aid to health, com-
fort, and relaxation it found in
this revolutionary relaxing lounge
that hundreds of Houstonians
hat e placed in their homes and
offices.
Described as the most out-
standing development in the
furniture field in years, this chair
gives the user a degree of com-
fort and relaxation that is unob-
tainable otherwise.

For those who like to combine
a treat and a treatment, this is
it.
—A JOB! And, brother, what a thrill it is when it's your first
job! Just ask Delores Garcia, right, a 20-year-old fresh out of
business college, with no previous business experience. She felt
her heart heat faster when Sue Scholl, a crack staff member of
GULF Employment Service, picked up the phone and landed
her a job with the law firm of Win free & Winfree. But to
Sue, who has been placing the right people in the right jobs
for the past eight years, the logical answer is careful "screening”
You see, before GULF placement experts make an appointment
with an employer, they carefully screen the applicant's qualifi-
cations, experience, psychological makeup, likes and dislikes. This
complex matching process fits the job-hunter smoothly into the
job-wanted situation.
One of Houston's most competent and reliable employment
services, located at BOB Scanlon Bldg , CH-6919, Gulf has five
skilled interviewers u ho specialize in calls for secretaries, stenog-
raphers, typists, PBX operators, administrative, accountants,
erttitters, draftsmen, salesmen, warehousemen, and general
office clerks .

THE GRACE SYSTEM
I beliei e that beauty and grace
are. in almost every instance, the
result of inspired training. Oc-
casionally, of course, a rare wo-
man sweeps her God-given way
to the very heights. But, for most
women, beauty and grace are the
trained development of lines and
features into a harmonious
whole. A new and softer skin . .
a facial blemish removed . . ,
twenty pounds lost, and — in-
stantly you hate a neu and con-
fident woman.
So system produces miracles.

merely the result of training. It private consulta-

Women are what they make
of them selves. You cannot

IT WAS COLD when the photographer snapped Mrs. Eugene Tahor, right, of 7238 Lawndale,
entertaining a neighbor over coffee. But the whole house was an eten, comfortable temperature,
thanks to their Utility wall heater, installed by Fresh Air Circulator Co., 3/08’ Navigation. Thermo-
static control allows the Tabors to set the temperature at night so that it will start an hour before
they auaken in the morning. Result: a warm house. Two years ago the Tabors decided that it did
not make sense to pay for gas heaters in every room, so they installed Fresh Airs tented heating,
which can be repaid at a cost of slightly over 1 cent an hour, if installed in the city limits. TIP:

MICKEY COLLEEN
HOLD STILL, COLLEEN! Beautician Mickey Walton of
the METROPOLITAN Beauty Salon, 1311 S. Mam, trades horse-
play with co-worker Colleen Zock, right, to celebrate a total of 37
years spent making the customers beautiful. Mickey gets a mus-
tache bleach, Colleen a pack. Mickey's specialty is the spiral old-
fashioned permanent, suited for very fine hair. Success is attained
by blocking the hair small and stretching it tight on the rod, one
curl at a time. Colleen specializes m tinting, facials and permanent
uates. In the latter it's the shaping of the hair before the perman-
ent, that makes it successful. A bad otter at or will block the hair
and chop it before they shape it, thus teat ing it uneven and look-
ing auful. Hundreds of Houston women wouldn't exchange the e
two for any other operators. ”They better not!" both gals said.

’’-ON SOME ITEMS. AND FROM THE SAME CUS-
TOMERS!" reports C. P. Waldrup at his 3420 Oak Forrest gro-
cery, after he installed the famous McCray Triple-Play, a combina-
tion Koldflo refrigerated double-duty meat case with a self-sen ice
section in front. Reported Mrs. Bessie Northcutt, of 1232 Cham-
board, a customer: "I'm very definitely buying more than ever
since this display was installed!"
Mr. Waldrup enthusiastically reported that his cheeses are
selling jour times as much to the same customers; wiener sales
hate doubled and tripled; and that all displayed items, such as
bacon, cheese, canned biscuits, potato salad, sausage, have jumped
terrifically. Formerly he kept such items behind glass, all crowded
together. ”This is the little store man's ideal box," said Mrs.
Waldrup, checker. "Everybody has commented on it!"

our prayers on one man. Who
shall it be”
j They picked out one of the
hardest men in town, a hopeless
drunkard. Everybody centered'
their prayers on nim. In a week
he was converted. They centered
their prayers on the next hardest
one and soon he was converted.
Then they took up another, and
another, until within a year or
two, three hundred were prayed
