cles-hair brushes, combs,
mirrors and other toilet art
cles. 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 one-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 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 it's clear,
bright lustre without tarnish-
ing. 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
a crevice between the meta
and the wood and even con,
slant care can't keep it free
from dirt. The Cosmeor
brushes are made of two solo
plates of beautiful white Alu
minum. The best bristle'
that money will buy are draw
through the front plate into ;
backing of waterproof cement
You can't force water in if you
try. You can't soak it in. TIL,
brush is practically one sole
piece. The bristles are ar
ranged in pointed tufts-th
length of the bristles varying
in each tuft. This allows ther
to penetrate easily to tn
, scalp. The bristles need nc
be especially stiff to do this
: Those who like the feeling {
: a stiff brush will like the Cos
neon brushes even better. TIL
a., greatest claim for the Cosmeo
f brush is it's perfect cleanliness
f There is no other really clea
brush. That is so true that
will bear telling a number {
times. There is nothing les
desirable than dirt. TIL
: Cosmeon brush will last longe
S and brush better, than an
other. That statement is nc
qualified-it is not a questio
of price. Pay what you pleas
you can't get as good. AS
= matter of fact, the Cosmeo
e prices are very moderate, eve
,, less than silver plated goods
So much for hair brushes
! Military brushes, clothe
: brushes and hat brushes hav
, the same characteristics. Mad
the same way, of the sam
material. Made to keep clear
to brush with, and to last
Better than silver and tn
cost is less than one-fourtI
The military brushes are dis

Few men in Europe use an,

elsewhere as the convenienc
becomes known. Engrave
mans initials on a pair G
brushes, and he can't wish 70
a better present. The same G
clothes and hat brushes. An,
to hold them-a Cosmeon tray
Stamped out ola solid sheet G
shimmering Aluminum-plail
or engraved as your taste die
tates. The EXPENSE trife
The present-perfect. Cosmeol
mirrors are made like brushe
and the beveled French glas
is put in so its stays in forever
They are light and will neve
tarnish. The line offers man,
suggestions for present seekers
The Cosmeon goods should b
seen. No description will suffice
A glance is worth a thousan,
words in showing just no,
dainty and pretty and desirabl
they are. Cosmeon goods ar
remarkably low in price, bu
they are not recommended 70
that reason. Consider tn
quality first, then the looks
then the price.
