New Refreshment
Center At Fair
The Diamond Garter—a new re-
freshment center for quaffing and
chaffing which will offer continu-
ous entertainment--will be a fea-
ture of the 1950 State Fair of
Texas Mid-Century Exposition,
Oct. 7-22.
With the atmosphere of an old-
time music hall of the Gay Nine-
ties, the Diamond Garter will pre-
vent thrice nightly performances
of "The Drunkard's Daughter,"
new but nostalgic comical preach-
ment against sin und gin.
From the time the theater-
restaurant opens at ll a. m. until
it closes around midnight, patrons
will b<« entertained by singing
waiters and handle-bar mustaches,
piano players with a "backroom"
touch and top talent doubling as
actors in the old-fashioned melo-
drama and as entertainers.
Located at the "top of the Mid-
way," directly across from the
sensational new Sky Wheels thrill
ride, the spacious Diamond Garter
will contain 4(H) tables accommo-
dating 160C patrons. From the
100-foot bar, sandwiches, soft
drinks and other beverages will
be served at reasonable prices.
The Diamond Garter will be op-
erated by R. G. McElyea of Amuse-
ment Enterprises in Fort Worth,
and the show will be produced
by Charles R. Meeker Jr., manag-
ing director of the Starlight Oper-.
etta and the State Fair Audi-
torium, in cooperation with Mc-
Elyea. Decorations for the re-
freshment center will be designed
by Peter Wolf, scenic d<i>igner
for the Starlight Operetta.
McElyea said that the show to
be produced at the Diamond Garter
would be of top quality and that
entertainers would be the best
talent available.
He plans to employ actors fur
the Melodrama, "The Drunkard's
Daughter," who can also sin« and

"Thinking of the tonq h®'•
:
e 1
e
Belter Buu Butek!
IP that car of yours has put its
best days behind it, there's no
time like right now to think
about starting out afresh with
a taut, new, up-to-the-minute
motorcar with all its mileage still
in it.
And there's no better place in the
world to start than with the
beauty pictured here, for a variety
of reasons.
I*or one thing, this liuick
SPHCIAL is a quick-stepping
Fireball valve-in-head straight-
eight that's priced lower than
some sixes.
For another, it's built with typical
liuick ruggedness through and
In WW* I 1**1' * tim>* ' • ■" •
throng! — a husky that can take a
lot of years without crying
"Uncle!"
T
then, too —this high-styled
beauty is proving to be one of
the most economical liuieks ever
built—easy on gas, easy on upkeep,
easy on you in its soft, floating,
light-handling comfort.
Ft even comes with Dynaflow
Drive* if you like —and Dynaflow
means that you will nc\er have-
to service or replace a friction
clutch, and that rear-end or trans-
mission servicing —even engine
upkeep —are cut to a minimum.
*SUlmi'lrd on RtiAIHHASTKH. nplumnt 'it rxlra
coll on SUI'h H ami IAI- > nodal*.
Of course, you can't see all of
this in the brief span of a trial
drive.
Hut you can experience the good
solid feel of liuick strength
beneath you. You can satisfy
yourself on the lightness of the
controls, the utter smoothness of
Dynaflow, the quick surge of
liuick's Fireball power.
All such things will tell you that
this is a car you'll be glad to live
with for a long time to come —
and you need only to ask \our
liuick dealer for a demonstration
to see precisely what we mean.
Why not call on him soon to talk
about signing up?
