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 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 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 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
5 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 o
a stiff brush will like the Cos.
r neon brushes even better. The
g greatest claim for the Cosmeor
n brush is it's perfect cleanliness
There is no other really clean
brush. That is so true that il
e will bear telling a number o.
t times. There is nothing less
d desirable than dirt. The
y Cosmeon brush will last longer
$ and brush better, than any
y other. That statement is moi
\ qualified-it is not a question
r of price. Pay what you please
II you can't get as good. AS ;
matter of fact, the CosmeoI
prices are very moderate, ever
e less than silver plated goods
: So much for hair brushes

The Cosmeon goods should be

!, 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
