cOSU. III SOUNDS strange, DuU
a Cosmeon hair brush is i'm
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-
ling. You can't keep any brush
clean if it has a wooden bristle
block. A solid gold back,
with diamond setting, can't
keep the water and oil and
dirt out of the wood. There's
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 a
backing of waterproof cement.
. You can't force water in if you
5 try. You can't soak it in. The
$ brush is practically one solid
piece. The bristles are ar
ranged in pointed tufts the
!, length of the bristles varying
e in each tuft. This allows them
II to penetrate easily to the
scalp. The bristles need not
= be especially stiff to do this
d Those who like the feeling o
r stiff brush will like the Cos
a neon brushes even better. The
: greatest claim for the Cosmeor
u brush is its perfect cleanliness
There is no other really clear
brush. That is so true that i
It will bear telling a number o
S times. There is nothing less
$ desirable than dirt. TIL,
r Cosmeon brush will last longer
o and brush better, than any
4 other. That statement is no
W qualifed-it is not question
d of price. Pay what you pleas

less than silver plated goods
