Making your own scatter
rug in any color, size or shape
IpV wish out of squares of washa-
Ne undyed carpeting is latest idea
to emerge from do-it-yourself
movement. Black and white
checker-board rug in photo was
made from 12-inch squares of un-
dyed nylon-viscose carpeting. A1I-
ffchric dye was used to dye black
squares, while snowy whiteness of
alternating squares was attained
by simply washing the undyed ma-
terial. Since the dyes come in 50
colors, any combination of hues
may be obtained.
Direction* for making a rujr of
either checker-board or alternate-
diamond design have wen an-
nounced by Tintex Home t " ..em-
la Bureau. After cutting undyed
Wtthable carpeting into foot or
yard squares, place half the 'otal
Mi© the washing machine a .id fill
with hottest water available. While
washer is Ailing, pour all-fabric
! dye into quart of hot tap water and
'stir with wooden spoon until dis-
i solved. Empty dye solution into
! machine and let it i un through reg-
'ular cycles. Repeat process with
j balance of squares for second color,
I first cleaning machine with tinse
jof water and soap.
! After squares have dried, lay
them out on reverse side and press
; trips of hot-iron tape along divid-
ing lines, as shown above. When
turned over, you'll have a new rug
that meets your own ti^coratir.g
needs perfectly.
If you plan to we -h the rug later,
apply liquid latex along the borders
prior to taninc, susgests the Tin-
tex bureau." This will enable you tr
remove the tape easily and provid'
skid-proofing while rticr is on Root

others are light and airy. All are fun to live with because they are
easy to rare for. N'o more heavy plush that shows every scuff or spatter
mark.

The most wonderful thing
about this modern trend in
fabrics is that it lends itself,
most conveniently, to the cro-
chet hook. You can easily cro-
chet many of these interesting

seats, lamp shades, throw rugs,

Julius Caesar To
Come To Buckaroo
One of the high spots of the
current movie season locally will
be the special, limited day engage-
ment of MGM's distinguished pro-
duction of "Julius Caesar," start-
ing Wednesday, January 12- at the
Buckaroo theatre. This much-
honored Shakespearean film is ex-
pected to draw to this city hun-
dreds of moviegoers from a wide
surrounding area because it is be-
ing booked in selected localities
and this city will be among the
first of its size to see it.
Unlike other Shakespearean pic-

Pearl BeerSeh
Brewing Record
Boring Past Year
The large expansion program
completed in 1953 through which
the Pearl Brewery became the
largest brewery southwest of St.
Louis, enabled Pearl for the first
time in three years to go through
the summer period' without ra-
tioning beer to its distributors.
1954 sales of Pearl Beer were
not only the highest in Pearl's 68
years but represented the highest
annual sales for any beer in his-
tory, indicating the broad and in-
creasing demand for this fine fully
aged premium quality beer.
In referring to the sales of the
Pearl Brewery, II. B. "Pat" O'-
Brien, General Sales Manager, said
—"Yes, in 1954 the Pearl Brewery
sold more beer than in any year
in the Brewery's 68 year history,
and we ended the year with the
biggest December sales in the
Brewery's history."
In referring to Pearl Beer's 1954
sales, Datus E. Proper, Vice-Presi-
dent and General Manager said—
"Additional bottling and canning
facilities as well as new pastueriz-
ing equipment is now being added
in anticipation of a bigger demand
for Pearl Beer in 1955. While we
market only in Texas, the demand
for Pearl Beer continues to grow as
more and nfore people realize that
ed into a sensational popular box-
office success. The rip-roaring
story of assassination and mob
violence, told as only Shakespeare
can tell it, is proving to be excit-
ing movie entertainment in addi-
tion to be a classic which has won
honors throughout the world. Mar-
lon Brando, who plays Mark An-
tony, is attracting throngs of reg-
ular moviegoers with whom he is
a favorite. They come to worship
the brawning Brando, tough guy
from Nebraska—but they remain
to fall under the spell of Shakes-
peare's genius.
Groups of students from neigh-
boring towns already are planning
trips to this city to see "Julius
Caesar."

Otto A. Koehler, President of the
Peail Brewery said—"Three gen-
erations of people of Texas have
shown their increased preference
for Pearl Beer, this year giving
Pearl the position of first in sales
in Texas, for which we are deeply
appreciative. We are making fur-
ther plans for increased production
to take care of the constant demand
for Pearl Beer. For the first time
in the history of the Brewery, its
employees and citizens of San An-
tonio have been given the oppor-
tunity to buy stock in this great
Texas institution. The stock was
over-subscribed the second day af-
ter it, was put on the market,
showing the affection of the people
of San Antonio and the State of
Texas for this old institution, Tex-
as' Own since 1886."

its a lot lees than you
Maybe you didn't know that the price ol
this 1955 Buick Special 2-door,
6-passenger Sedan has moved still closer to
those of the so-called "low-price three."
And maybe you didn't know that now you
can boss this broad and brawny new beauty
lor even fewer dollars than some models of
those very same "three."
So well gladly show you the price tag to
prove it.
But no dollar figures can ever tell you how-
much more sheer automobile you get for
your money in this '55 Buick. You have to
discover that firsthand.
"You have to look into the record-high V8
power that puts the whip to this dazzler—
and see by sampling what that means in thi
lift and life and joy you feel in driving.
\ou have to judge for yourself h6w much
more luxury and comfort and stability so
little more money buys here—more room,
more visibility, more frame strength, more
tread width, more ride steadiness.
And you have to learn by doing what a rich
fine feeling it is to travel in the boldest new
styling of the times—in beauty that's long
and low and sports-car smart—and as defi-
nitely distinctive as the name on the hood.
Come in for a demonstration of Buick for
'55. We promise you the thrill—and the buy
—of the year.
