else remarked that Fred need-
ed a shave. Even in the dim-
mer light of a civic club lunch-
eon, Fred obviously needed a
shave. Fred kept right on
“growing” his beard. It had
ia great deal in common with
the skin it covered — it was
the same color.
Then came the kickoff day
when the men of the town put
their razors into moth balls and
signed up to grow whiskers.
Fred was one of the first to
sign up. “You already need a
shave — slightly,” was the dis-
appointing comment made by
the fellow who did the signing
up. Fred grinned sickly-like
and didn’t dare tell him that
already those whiskers had not
felt the caress of a razor for a
good two months.
Then finally came the day
when they were to round up all
the men to see how many of
them had grown beards. Those
who hadn’t complied went into
a middle-of-the-street hoosegow
and were kept there until they
paid a $5 fine. Yep, you guess-
ed it, Fred went into the hoose-
gow. It cost him $5.
He tried to tell them that he
had been growing a beard since
long before the more astute
gentlemen had even quit buy-
ing razor blades, but they ac-
cused him of being a slacker,
fined him just the same.
Fred, disgusted, went home
in the late afternoon, a very un-
happy man. He decided that
there was one thing for which
he could be thankful: He didn’t
live in the day when such facial
ornaments were in style.
But the crowning blow came
after supper that night when
his wife picked up the evening
paper and read about the beard-
growing contest.

Place With Win Over Jackets
Andrews’ Mustangs finished
the district title chase Tuesday
night firmly entrenched in third
place by virtue of a 56-43 win
over Kermit’s Yellow Jackets.
Andrews is 6-4 in district play.
Kermit finished all alone in
fourth place with a 5-5 district
record, followed by Ector (3-7)
and Brownfied (0-10).
Monahans took the title last
week but played Brownfield at
home Tuesday night to finish
with a 9-1 record followed by
Pecos in second place with a
7-3 finish.
The Kermit - Andrews affair
was played according to the
form chart, that is, both teams
fouling excessively, as Kermit
drew 22 penalties and Andrews
had 30.
The game was close during
the first period with Kermit
leading 10-9 starting the second
quarter. Then the Mustangs
cut loose with a 17-point bar-
rage and led 27-19 at the half.
The Yellow Jackets could
muster only nine more points
in the third period as the Mus-
tangs continued to hit the mesh-
es for 15 more.

WORTH MORE
BECAUSE THEY
WORK MORE!
Compare this list of Chevy advances with the features or-
dinary trucks are still talking about. You’ll see why Chevy
trucks get more work done in a day... why they go extra
thousands of miles before trade-in time. These Sturdi-Biit
Sixties aren’t just new, they’re a full scale revolution!
6’S SWORN TO SAVE
Chevy’s 6-cylinder engines
are set to squeeze extra miles
out of every drop of fuel.
They’re long famous for low
fuel consumption, high
performance.
SHORT STROKE V8’S
Power-packed for peak per-
formance, Chevy’s husky
V8’s make child’s play out of
the toughest hauls. They
have a mind tuned to econ-
omy, too, that keeps costs
down, profits up.

TORSION-SPRING RIDE
Each front wheel, suspended
independently of the other,
is free to step individually
over bumps. And shockproof
torsion springs up front soak
up the jars and jolts before
they reach the body. With
three rugged new tailored-to-
the-truck rear suspensions to
further reduce road shocks,
Chevy gives you the smooth-
est truck ride you’ve ever
felt.
NO SHIMMY, NO
WHEEL FIGHT
Drive a ’60 Chevy. Just
once. Right away you’ll no-
tice the absence of I-beam
shimmy and wheel fight com-
mon on ordinary trucks.
With independent front sus-
pension there’s a brand-new,
smoother, easier handling
feel behind the wheel.
SUCK NEW SUBURBAN
CARRYALLS
These handsome new handy
haulers “double in brass”—
can transport eight passen-
gers or up to 950 lbs. of pay-
load. Rear and center seats
are easy to remove and re-
place when necessary. For
work or for pleasure, these
double-duty beauties are
best for both!
NEW DOLLAR-SAVING
PRICES
Chevrolet’s low prices make
big truck news for ’60. They
mean money in your pocket
on model after model. Step-
Vans, 4-Wheel Drives, many
light-duty models with auto-
matic transmissions—all are
lower priced. Also, prices
have been reduced on all
optional V8’s.
SEE YOUR DEALER
It could be the most impor-
tant visit you make in ’60.
When you’ve seen these new
Chevies, you’ll agree they’re
the world's most advanced
trucks. Then drive one and
find out why.
CABS FOR BIG GUYS
Big guys get a bigger break
in a Chevy cab. There’s
plenty of space inside to
stretch out and relax; more
room for hats and hips, more
room for wide shoulders and
long legs. There’s horizon-
wide visibility through a
windshield with 26% more
glass area; a new see-at-a-
glance instrument panel.
Cabs are safer, too, up to
67% more rigid.
