we nave Ole vi DuI SlloN-
filed with useful art
icles-hair brushes, combs,
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
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 Gust 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 tarnlsh-
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
|
6 a crevice between the meta
and the wood and even con.
} slant care can't keep it free
r from dirt. The Cosmeor
brushes are made of two sole
plates of beautiful white Alu
minum. The best bristle'
that money will buy are draw
Il through the front plate into
backing of waterproof cement
You can't force water in if yol
try. You can't soak it in. The
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 then
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. TIL,
greatest claim for the Cosmeol
!. brush is its perfect cleanliness
n There is no other really clea
brush. That is so true that
le will bear telling a number {
Is times. There is nothing les
? desirable than dirt. TIL
o Cosmeon brush will last longe
d and brush better, than an
e other. That statement is nc
: qualifed-it is not a questio
of price. Pay what you pleas
1t you can't get as good. AS
e matter of fact, the Cosmeo
d prices are very moderate, eve
!, less than silver plated goods
Y So much for hair brushes
# Military brushes, clothe
d brushes and hat brushes hav
i the same characteristics. Mad
# II the same way, of the sam
It material. Made to keep clear
"a to brush with, and to last
/ Better than silver"-and tn
" cost Is less than one-fourtf
in The military brushes are dis
C. tinctively mems hair brushes
Few men in Europe use an
4 other. The custom is GROWN
elsewhere as the convenienc
;, becomes known. Engrave
mans initials on a pair {
brushes, and he can't wish fc
better present. The same {
&c clothes and hat brushes. An
e to hold them-a Cosmeon tray
e Stamped out ola solid sheet {
c shimmering Aluminum-plai
!, or engraved as your taste die
d tates. The EXPENSE tritlt
s The present-perfect. Cosmeo
e mirrors are made like brushe
e and the beveled French glas
n is put in so it's stays in forever
e They are light and will neve
y tarnish. The line offers man,
Is 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,
d dainty and pretty and desirabl
t they are. Cosmeon goods ar
# remarkably low in price, bu
n they are not recommended 70
that reason. Consider tn
t quality first, then the looks
e then the price.
