Shack, located on the Hawn
Tract represents $75,000 in build-
ing and $25,000 in equipment.
It is new from the front parking
lot to the back door. The ex-
perienced force which operated
the old institution has been
transferred to the new shack.
The former location has been
closed. Mr. Shepard announced.
The chicken is served:
1. In an open sandwich, with
hi tad and sweet pickles and
without silverware.
2. Within five minutes after
a customer sits down to a dining
table.
With the reputation of the
house staked on chicken, it must
of necessity be something ' spe-
cial.” The Chicken Shacks use
a special breading formula to
permit thorough cooking while
retaining a golden brown color
Before being served the order
must pass the scrutiny of an ad-
ministrative employe. The rep-
utation of Chicken Shack product

trons, the manager, R D. Shep-

many people from towns near
Corpus Christi. and we are
pleased to announce that we are
better equipped and prepared
than ever to give tnese many
friends gotid service," Mr. Shep-
ard said
That the Chicken Shack "idea
has succeeded is evident in the
