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 lust 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 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 q
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
I length of the bristles varying
: in each tuft. This allows then
to penetrate easily to the
scalp. The bristles need moi
d be especially stiff to do this
Those who like the feeling o
a stiff brush will like the Cos
Al neon brushes even better. The
> greatest claim for the Cosmeol
e brush is its perfect cleanliness
1t There is no other really clear
e brush. That is so true that i
'r will bear telling number o
times. There is nothing les
=. desirable than dirt. Tn
- Cosmeon brush will last longe
. and brush better, than an,

qualifed-it is not a question
!, of price. Pay what you pleas
, you can't get as good. AS ;

less than silver plated goods
