 01' Hoot Farrar used to work
for Foote Well Service in West Texas.
Now he works for WellTech. Same difference.
At the wellsite, company names
and logotypes aren't the most impor-
tant thing. People are. Which is why
there's a photo of 01' Hoot Farrar in
this ad.
You see, Hoot works for WellTech
which used to be called Foote Well
Service. And the customers liked the
way he and his buddies got after it.
Same people, same equipment -
different name.
Foote Well Service in West
Texas, Mohawk Well Service in South
Texas, Chris Well Servicing in
Oklahoma, and Lafayette Well Service
in Louisiana: they're all WellTech
now. Which should make identifying
quality people, equipment and service
easy, wherever you are.
Together they form quite a com-
pany: about 500 people like Hoot and
approximately 100 well servicing,
workover and completion rigs. Quite
a company.
A company committed to the
goal of becoming the finest in the
well servicing and workover industry.
Foote Well Service or WellTech.
Same difference.

PREVIEW
OF THE
MONTH
HOUSTON CLUB TEAM TAKES LAST OF YEAR'S
THREE OFFICIAL TIME-OUTS LABOR DAY
The staff of The Houston Club will be celebrating Labor
Day, September 6, by abstaining from labor for the day. While
they enjoy their well-deserved vacation, your Houston Club
will be closed.
The Club's staff wishes all The Club's members a
pleasant holiday week-end. They will be back and ready to
greet you on September 7.
'SIKH' OUT THE FLAVOR OF INDIA
AT BUFFET SEPTEMBER 11
"Kalik," said Gandhi, "announce that the fast will begin ,'
he faltered and only with effort regained his resolve,"... im-
mediately." Then he looked at his friend with the saddest eyes
imaginable. "A pity. Tonight was to have been my night for
Samosas and Murgi Kari."
Poor Gandhi. Samosas are those precious lamb-filled
pastries seasoned to perfection. And Murgi Kari . . . that's
chicken exquisitely prepared by a time-honored recipe in-
vented by the Dravidians a thousand ages ago.
At the Indian Buffet in the Plantation Room on Septem-
ber 11, your Club will be offering you these delicacies and
other marvelous goodies, too: endless kinds of condiments,
fillet of sole, Bengal-style vegetables, and - something the
great Mahatma would never have permitted himself - deli-
cious prime ribs of beef. For a mouth-watering detailed run-
down of the entire menu, read Nancy Joy's column in this
month's Clubber.
Briefly meditate on the prospect of ravishing your palate
with the familiar and the exotic, skillfully blended by your
Club's outstanding chefs. Then call 225-1661 to make reser-
vations. Time: 6 to 9:30 PM. Cost: $9.50 per person.
PICK A SMASHIN FASHION AT
ESTHER WOLF LUNCHEON SPETEMBER 15
The seasons change and with them change ladies' fash-
ions. The world's top designers have some new ideas for what
they think will make you look your loveliest this Fall. And
Esther Wolf has got the embodiment of many of these new
ideas right here in Houston. Her store features an unusually
wide range of designer lines.
Ms. Wolf will be sending many fine examples of the latest
Fall designer creations along with her to the, Plantation Room
September 15. Why not avail yourselves of a marvelous op-
portunity. Play it cool by taking the orderly and relaxed ap-
proach to deciding just what new outfits to get into this
autumn.
It nearly goes without saying that the fashion parade will
be preceded by one of the Club's fantastic light luncheons

starting at 12:15 PM. Aperitif aficionados, come slightly
earlier.
So, say "yes" and come. Call The Club at 225-1661 to
make your reservations. Cost: $5.75 per person.
SHRIMP SHUCK COMING UP SEPTEMBER 17
AW, SHUCKS, DEAR, LET'S GO
There once was a shrimp from the sea, .
Who, when asked as to why he should be,
Replied, "Seaman or lubber,
I'm meant for some Clubber,
And that certainly satisfies me!"
-An anonymous shrimp shucker
it's become the national game. And any game of the national
game is cause for making a day of it. Your Houston Club can
certainly help you do that.
Cocktail service in the Lounge will commence on Satur-
day at 4PM, to be followed by a delicious pre-game buffet in
the Plantation Room. Then - provided there are enough inter-
ested Clubbers - a bus will be available to take game-goers to
the Stadium and return them to The Club. Should you dis-
cover your throat needs soothing after all the cheering, stay
for a drink before heading home.
Reservations are a must, so please call The Club to make
yours at 225-1661.
TRY YOUR HAND AT GOOD COUNTRY
RANCH HOUSE BRUNCH SEPTEMBER 26
The quality of the poetry may be questionable, but the
quality of The Club's Shrimp Shucks never is. The featured
shrimp are enormous and bursting with flavor.
Also, the poet has made no reference at all to the avail-
ability of tasty chowder, pitchers of ice-cold beer, tangy sauces
or any of the other much-loved Shuck traditionals. Nor is
there mention of the orchestra on hand to provide music for
dancing. To have done justice to The Club's popular monthly
Shrimp Shucks, the poet should have set about writing a
really fine epic instead of a limerick.
The Club's next Shuck, on September 17, begins at 7:30
PM in the Texas Room and costs $9.50 per person. Call 225-
1661 for reservations. Participate and, who knows, you and
your party may find yourselves immortalized in a stanza
someday.
STOUT MEN'S FORUM SEPTEMBER 21:
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION '76
Anthony C. Stout, chairman of the board, The
Government Research Corporation, Washington, D.C., will
address the Men's Forum on September 21 in the Texas
Room.
Mr. Stout, whose particulars are laid out in a separate
feature in this issue, has chosen to speak on a timely subject of
especial interest to everyone: the November Presidential
Election. You will want to remain well-informed by hearing
Mr. Stout's views based on the hard research data his
Corporation has gathered.
Please return to The Club the reservation card The Club
will have mailed to you in advance of the scheduled date. Or, if
you prefer, please phone in your reservation at 225-1661.
The sequence of events is lunch at noon sharp, speaker's
address, question period and adjournment at 1:30 PM. Male
guests are welcome. Cost per person is $5.75.
HOUSTON CLUB GAME PLAN
FOIL UH/A&M SEPTEMBER 25
The Aggies battle the Cougars on the gridiron for the
pigskin September 25. A foreign visitor might puzzle over
why an'aggie' might wish to do combat with a large cat atop a
cooking utensil for a porcine epidermis. But The Houston
Clubber and football fan knows A&M and the University of
Houston are meeting head-on at 7:30 PM in Rice Stadium.
Football in the U.S. is not just another game anymore -
Imagine a big of Texas ranch house in the midst of sturdy
shade trees on a day in late Summer. Out back a weathered
triangle is swaying peacefully in the breezes of a Sunday after-
noon.
A figure approaches, and in his hand he carries a metal
wand which he uses to set the triangle vibrating its message
loud and clear. The sound signals special Sunday country
treats - great slabs of juicy meat, bowls of steaming vege-
tables, and other hearty pleasers. Sounds, sights and smells
such as these weigh rich and heavy in the folk-ways of Texas.
Obviously, it is a far cry from such a setting to that of the
Plantation Room. But what matters is that the spirit of ranch
house style cooking will be present here on Sunday, Septem-
ber 26. You'll find barbecued spareribs, roast sirloin of beef,
country-fried trout, black eyes, cheese grits and so much more
Americana-type fare that you should turn to Nancy joy for
the complete list.
Maybe because it has been ours from the start, ranch
house food holds a special place in the hearts of native and
adopted sons of Texas alike. Don't miss it. The brunch runs
from 10:30 AM to 2 PM. The cost is $6.50 adults, $4.25 chil-
dren. Phone [phone] for reservations.
RINFRET MEN'S FORUM OCTOBER 5:
ECONOMY '77
The very popular Dr. Pierre Rinfret will return to The
Houston Club on October 5 to deliver his twelfth Men's
Forum address. His last appearance was in November of 1974.
He will treat a topic of great interest to many Clubbers:
What direction will the economy take in the coming year?
A special feature on Dr. Rinfret is contained in this issue
for new members who care to become acquainted with his
background and for those members who already know the
distinguished Doctor but who would like to refresh their
memories.
Reservations for Dr. Rinfret's talk may be made either by
return of reservation cards arriving soon through the mail
from The Club or by phone at 225-1661. Whatever method
you choose, however, please be advised to take early action to
avoid disappointment.
Men's Forum protocol prevails: Texas Room, guests per-
mitted but men only, luncheon promptly at noon, Dr. Rin-
fret's address, question period and adjournment at 1:30 PM.
Cost per person $5.75.

STOUT MEN'S FORUM
SEPTEMBER 21:
ELECTION CAMPAIGN'76
Anthony Carder Stout has ac-
cepted an invitation from The Club's
Activities Committee to appear be-
fore a gathering of the Men's Forum
on September 21. He is chairman of
the board, The Government Re-
search Corporation,Washington,D.C.
The topic he has elected to speak
on is the current campaign leading up
to the November 2 election of the
President of the United States.
Mr. Stout was among the group
of men who founded The Govern-
ment Research Corporation in 1969.
The Corporation was set up to
examine and analyze carefully entire
national government policy and ac-
tion as it relates to the interests of the
business sector.
The Government Research Cor-
poration gathers and analyzes all
relevant and available data on all
branches of government. It then com-
municates its conclusions on a con-
sultation basis by appropriate cate-
gory to executives and managers of
all types of corporations throughout
the country.
During this election year, the
work of Mr. Stout's organization has
focused on the executive branch of
government. Clients must have a
clear understanding of how the posi-
tion of each candidate will bear on
their own business planning. To that
purpose, Mr. Stout's speech will
divulge useful and up-to-the-minute
insights on what the election of each
candidate would likely mean to the
business community.
Mr. Stout has been responsible'
for the direction of The Government
Research Corporation since its begin-
ning. At that time he acted as the Cor-
poration's vice president. Since then
he has advanced to assume the presi-
dency and finally chairmanship of
the board.
Prior to 1969, Mr. Stout practiced
law. From 1965 to 1969 he was with
the New York City law firm of
Milban, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy.
His formal academic training is
outstanding. He spent his undergrad-
uate years at Williams College in
Massachusetts, where he was elected
to Phi Beta Kappa. Upon graduation,
he entered Harvard Law School, earn-
ing his LLB. He then proceeded on to
attend the London School of Eco-
nomics.
The Men's Forum meets at noon
sharp in the Texas Room. Seated
luncheon is followed immediately by
the speaker's talk, which is followed
in turn by a question period. The ses-
sion adjourns punctually at 1:30 PM.
Reservations may be made by
reply card received from The Club in
the mail or by telephone at 225-1661.
As always, men guests are welcome.
The cost per person is $5.75.

ECONOMIC
ANALYST-FORECASTER
DR. PIERRE RINFRET
TO MAKE TWELFTH FORUM
TALK OCTOBER 5
If your business is business, you can-
not afford to miss hearing Dr. Pierre Rinfret
speak before the Men's Forum October 5
about economic prospects for the com-
ing year.
During the past three decades, Dr.
Rinfret has established himself as one of
America's (and the world's) foremost
authorities in the field of economic anal-
ysis and forecasting. Through his firm, Rin-
fret-Boston Associates, Inc., he counsels
investment managers and corporate
executives of many key business, indus-
trial and financial organizations both in this
country and abroad. His views and advice
on economic subjects and issues have
been solicited by two past Presidents of
the United States.
Montreal-born Dr. Rinfret has also
established himself as the Club's most fre-
quent -guest speaker. He will be returning
to The Houston Club for the twelfth time in
14 years. The reason for so many repeat
engagements is three-fold: the relevance
of Rinfret's profession to the crucial pro-
fessional interests of many Clubbers, Rin-
fret's outstanding intellect and expertise,
and his well-honed rhetorical powers.
Dr. Rinfret was for 16 years asso-
ciated with Lionel D. Edie & Co., Inc. rising
to become chairman of the board. While
many men might have been content with
that, Dr. Rinfret ventured out on his own. In
1967 he founded Rinfret-Boston Asso-
ciates, Inc. and proceeded on to develop a
very successful enterprise. He is no
stranger to academia, having held a
faculty post at N.Y.U. during a portion of his
years with Edie.
His own formal academic back-
ground is firmly grounded in both the phys-
ical and the social sciences. He received
his undergraduate degree in electrical en-
gineering from the University of Maine.
Then he traveled south to attend N.Y.U.,
earning a BS and an MBA. Finally, thanks
to a coveted Fulbright .Scholarship, he
crossed the Atlantic to attend the Univer-
sity of Dijon, in France, where he received
a Ph.D. in political economy.
Past results are usually the best
predictor of future performance in most
areas. Dr. Rinfret's previous 11 appear-
ances have been fully attended, so if you
wish to protect yourself and any guests
(male only, please) against a sold-out
Texas Room, make reservations as soon
as possible.
The Men's Forum convenes at noon
sharp. A seated luncheon will be followed
immediately by Dr. Rinfret's talk, which in
turn will be followed by a question period.
At 1:30 punctually, the session is to
adjourn. The cost per person is $5.75. Res-
ervations may be made either by reply
card sent to members in the mail or by
telephone at 225-1661.

ANTIQUE MAP
NOW ON VIEW
An antique map of early Houston -a
family heirloom-has been loaned to The
Houston Club by Mrs. Betty Bingham
Bryan, whose late husband, J. P. Bryan,
was a member of The Club.
"Wood's Map of New Houston, 1869"
is now hanging in the Rotunda on the Ninth
Floor near the Plantation Room, and Club-
bers have the opportunity to compare the
1869 nucleus with today's sprawling metro-
polis which is the nation's fifth-ranking city.
Mrs. Bryan, who now lives in Angle-
ton, brought the antique map to The Club
early in August. "It has been in my family
for three generations," she said, "and I just
wanted a good place for it to hang."
The map was originally purchased by
her grandparents James P. and Betty Bing-
ham, then preserved by her mother, Mary
P. Bingham.
Mrs. Bryan's roots in Texas go back
even further than the 1869 date. Her great-
grandfather, Francis Bingham, bought land
here before the city of Houston was actual-
ly laid out. Mrs. Bryan added that Francis
Bingham was the first person to pay taxes in
Texas.
With more than 80 years as a Hous-
ton tradition and with a long history of
members prominent in the community, The
Houston Club is proud to display this his-
torical document.

How does the energy capital
move its energy?
Fast City National Bank helps it
reach its destination.
Some thirty underground pipelines carry
Texas Gulf Coast resources to major U.S.
cities thousands of miles away. These
pipelines move millions of gallons of oil,
natural gas, petrochemicals and other
liquid products.
This area of Texas has become one of
the nation's most important oil and gas
transmission centers - connecting the
products of plants and refineries along the
Houston Ship Channel with inland desti-
nations as far away as New York City.
One-quarter of the nation's major
pipeline companies moving natural gas are
found in Houston. Together these 14
companies operate more than 122,000
miles of natural gas pipeline.
First City National Bank uses its
financial strength to help move Texas
Gulf Coast resources.
We're the founding member of First
City Bancorporation. There are now 23
First City Bank Group member banks
across Texas with assets of over $4 bil-
lion.
- First City National Bank is becoming
involved with more and more industries
every day. Understanding business as well
as banking has helped us become...
A major financial strength behind
Texas industry.
