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

the bristles are Just as good,
because it viii last lorger,
brush better, keep cleaner and
will always retain It's clear,
bright lustre without tarnish-
ing. You can't keep anv 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 cant 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
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
in each tuft. This allows them
to penetrate easily to the
scalp. The bristles need not
be especially stiff to do this.
Those who like the feeling OF
a stiff brush will like the Cos
neon brushes even better. The
greatest claim for the Cosmeon
brush is its perfect cleanliness.
There is no other really clean
brush. That is so true that it
will bear telling a number OF
times. There is nothing less
desirable than dirt. The
Cosmeon brush will last longer
and brush better. than any
other. "a That statementiis npt

matter of fact, the Cosmeon
prices are very moderate, even
less than silver plated goods.
