IsHAM's SAN MIGUEL HAIR RESTORATIVE
WATERS
Per A. H. IsHAN Manager.
Why l should have been selected 10 act
as president of course | cannot at this
moment fully understand, but judge that
a pure life and lovely disposition have
something to do with it. OF course / have

cooked.
Second-We cannot afford to replace
hair on any applicant who may be doing
business in violation of law or who uses
ardent spirits, ale, wine or beer.
Third-We could not insure one who
