Cosmcon 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 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 bristlcs are just as good,
because it will last longer,
brush better, keep cleaner and
will always retain its clear,
bright lustrc without tarnish-
ing. You can't keep any brush
clean if it has a wooden bristle
block. A solid gold back,
with diamond setting, cant
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-
lminum. The best bristleS
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. The
brush is practically one sole
piece. The bristles are ar
ranged in pointed tufts-thc
length of the bristles varying
in each tuft. This allows then
to penetrate easily to tn,
scalp. The bristles need no.
be especially stiff to do this
, Those who like the feeling o
a stiff brush will like the Cos
neon brushes even better. TIL,
greatest claim for the Cosmeol
, brush is its perfect cleanliness
There is no other really cleal
brush. That is so true that i
will bear telling a number o
times. There is nothing les
desirable than dirt. TIL,
Cosmeon brush will last longel
and brush better, than any
other. That statement is no
, qualifed-it is not a question

you can't get as good. AS I

S So much for hair brushes

the same characteristics. Made
the same way, of the same

The present-perfect. Cosmeon
mirrors are made like brushes
and the beveled French glass
is put in so its stays in forever.
They are light and will never
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 for
that reason. Consider the
quality first, then the looks,
then the price.
