mirrors and other toilet art
icles. They are the patented
Cosmeon articles and are bet
ter than silver for several
reasons. They are lighter.
They never tarnish. They are |
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 its 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'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 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'
f length of the bristles varying
5 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 c
a stiff brush will like the Cos

: greatest claim for the Cosmeo
brush is it's perfect cleanliness

desirable than dirt. Tn
y Cosmeon brush will last longe
and brush better, than an,
other. That statement is no
qualifed-it is not a question
of price. Pay what you pleas
you can't get as good. AS
matter of fact, the Cosmeo

less than silver plated goods

mirrors are made like brushes

They are light and will never
tarnish. The line offers many
suggestions for presentseekers
The Oosmeon 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 fol
that reason. Consider the
quality first, then the looks
then the price.
