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 toilcts-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 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 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
n in each tuft. This allows them
! to penetrate easily to the
t scalp. The bristles need not
!, be especially stiff to do this.
e Those who like the feeling Of
. a stiff brush will like the Cos
G neon brushes even better. The
g greatest claim for the Cosmeor
brush is it's perfect cleanliness
l. There is no other really clean
j brush. That is so true that il
d will bear telling a number Of
e times. There is nothing less
&C desirable than dirt. The
!, Cosmeon brush will last longer
d and brush better, than any
W other. That statement is not
qualified-it is not question
of price. Pay what you please
you can't get as good. AS a
matter of fact, the Cosmeon
prices are very moderate, even
: less than silver plated goods.
D So much for hair brushes
Military brushes, clothes
brushes and hat brushes have
the same characteristics. Made
the same way, of the same
material. Made to keep clean,
to brush with, and to last
Better than silver and the
cost Is less than one-fourth.
The military brushes are dis
tinctively mems hair brushes.
Few men in Europe use any
other. The custom is growing
elsewhere as the convenience
becomes known. Engrave a
mans initials on Il pair OF
brushes, and he can't wish fol
a better present. The same OF
clothes and hat brushes. And
to hold them-a Cosmeon tray.
Stamped out ola solid sheet OF
shimmering Aluminum-plain
or engraved as your taste die
tates. The expense-a trihe.
The present-perfect. Cosmeon
mirrors are made like brushes
and the bevelcd French glass
is put in so its stays in forever.
They are light ana 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 Il 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.
