STICKY SEATS NO MORE!
Our fascinating wooden bead seat is
so effective---yet so siml
wonder why it hasn't been around
longer!
It ingeniously creates a "zone of com-
fort" between ycu and your seat, allow-
ing air to circulate---keeping you cool,"
dry, and unaffected by those blazing
hot car seats so common in spring and
summer.
But that's not all--it works like modem-
day accupressure, gently massaging
your back and legs, stimulating tired
muscles and improving circulation. The
smooth laquered beads are handstrung
with flexible, heavy-duty nylon cord.
Try one--keep cool and comfortable
this summer!
