iclcs. They are the patented
Cosmeon articles and are bet
ter than silver for several
reasons. They are lighter.
They never tarnish. They are |
constructed as no silver goods |
ever were. They cost less
than onc-fourth as much as
silver. They are made for
people, who are fastidious
about their toilets-for those
who want the very best that
money will buy, as well as for
those who must count the
cost. 1t sounds strange, but
"A Cosmeon hair brush is inn
measurably better than a
silver brush costing ten dol
lars. Mind you-not Just as
good"-better, better because
it is Just as pretty, because
the bristles are just as good,
because it will last longer,
brush better, keep cleaner and
will always retain its clear,
bright lustre without tarnish-
ing. You can't keep any brush
clean if it has wooden bristle
block. A solid gold back,
with diamond setting, can't
keep the water and oil and
, dirt out of the wood. There
a crevice between the metal
and the wood and even CON
slant care can't keep it free
from dirt. The Cosmeon
, brushes are made of two solid
plates of beautiful white Alu-
minum. The best bristles
that money will buy are drawn
through the front plate into t
, backing of waterproof cement
t You can't force water in if you
l try. You can't soak it in. The
, brush is practically one sole
piece. The bristles are ar
ranged in pointed tufts-tht
length of the bristles varying
} in each tuft. This allows then
E to penetrate easily to til,
scalp. The bristles need moi
+ be especially stiff to do this
{ Those who like the feeling o
t a stiff brush will like the Cos
neon brushes even better. The
} greatest claim for the Cosmeor
brush is its perfect cleanliness
There is no other really cleal
brush. That is so true that i
r will bear telling a number o
l times. There is nothing les.
y desirable than dirt. The
}Cosmeon brush will last longer
and brush better, than any
other. That statement is moi
qualifed-it is not a question
: Of price. Pay what you pleas,
, you can't get as good. AS {
matter of fact, the Cosmeor
, prices are very moderate, ever
less than silver plated goods
SO much for hair brushes
|, Military brushes, clothes
brushes and hat brushes have
, the same characteristics. Made
the same way, of the same
material. Made to keep clean
to brush with, and to last
Better than silver and the
cost is less than one-fourth
> The military brushes are dis,
tinctively mems hair brushes
Few men in Europe use any
4 other. The custom is growing
! elsewhere as the convenience,
becomes known. Engrave {
, mans initials on pair o
: brushes, and he can't wish fol
a better present. The same o
clothes and hat brushes. Ant
to hold them-a Cosmeon tray
, Stamped out of solid sheet o
shimmering Aluminum-plair
or engraved as your taste die
tates. The EXPENSE trihe
The present perfect. Cosmeor
mirrors are made like brushes
and the beveled French glas
is put in so its stays in forever
They are light and will neve
tarnish. The line offers many
suggestions for present seekers
The Cosmeon goods should be
seen. No description will suffice
A glance is worth a thousand
words in showing just how
dainty and pretty and desirable
they are. Cosmeon goods are
remarkably low in price, but
they are not recommended foI
that reason. Consider the
quality first, then the looks,
then the price,
