The first beauty parlor to be conducted
under the auspices OF the Federal courts
In this city opened up yesterday MORN
Ing at "a West Twenty-third street VIII
lam Ford Upson Of n William street
and Glen Ridge, N. j.. by virtue OF his
appointment as receiver by Judge Adams
in the United States District Court. took
hold Of the John H. Woodbury. Derma-
toogical Institute and has the Courts
permission to run the place for ten days
il he likes the job and tbe business war
rants 1t.
It Is doubtful whether the Court couid
have made more fitting appointment,
for the connection Of Mr.. Upson's name
with the enterprise makes II certain that
persons who have been holding OF hay
ing something done for their defects be-
cause they didn't have confidence in
the beauty experts neel hesitate no
longer a."
Mr.. Upson is probably best know n in
Glen Ridge. where he has been q men,
ber of the local Board Of Education since
the days when many Of the present COM
muters went to school. For the last
two years MIR. Upson has been president
Of the Board Of Health and chairman OF
the township committee Of Bloomfield.
and II a man who has been president
OF the Bloomfield Board Of Health isn't
qualified to run a beauty parior good
uess knows who Is.
Mr.. Upson's experience as receiver
has run along a good many lines too, but
as he was passing the Flatiron Building
yesterday morning on his way to work
he said he had never tackled anything
like the John H. Woodbury. Dermatologi-
cal Institute and had never even pat
roniz a concern of the kind.
But don't think am too old to learn,
said Mr.. Upson. Il intend to dig right
into the business OF removing facial de-
fects, and before the ten days are up !
hope to be giving such complete salts
tactic to my customers that there will
be a general demand for me to continue
the business for few days longer
when he looked over the Offices Of the
institute on the second floor rear OF q
West Twenty third street was a. pile OF
street car advertising placards bearing an
assortment Of interesting announcements
The one on top OF the pile ran like this:
Have you
Crooked Nose?
Skin Trouble?
Projecting Ear?
Skin Trouble?
Wart. Mole?
Wrinkle?
or any OF the many other little disagure-
ments that SO often mar an otherwise per-
feet face OF head, Perhaps an accident
has left q scar OF some kind, or maybe a
birthmark has disiigured you Wrinkles
caused by age. worry. illness or care
smoothed as In youth. Complexion de-
fects. skin marks. all troubles OF tho fea-
lures overcome-the skin restored to the
beauty and health of youth.
Another placard told OF the things that
beauty doctor who knows his business
can treat with ease and grace. a partial
list Of which follows:
Unshapely Noses Freckles
Outstanding Ears Warts and Moles
Dropping Eyelds Superfluous Hair
Hollow Cheeks Frowns and Burrows
BaEgy Skin Hollow Skin
Red Nose Double Chin
After running through the pile Of ads
and getting few more points on the
business Mr.. Upson announced tn several
prospective customers who had read the
morning papers and had got TO the office
about the time he did that he wouldn't t
really get down to business before early
this week because the Office force was Oh
resting up in preparation for the rush
that Is expected about next Wednesday
But II anybody wanted to buy any anti
septic liquid shampoo, hair invigorator,
massage cream, freckle remover, bust
food, liquid beautifer, lip rouge, anti
wrinkle cream. skin bleach, cucumber
lotion, taicum powder or hair depilatory
or anything else that comes In bottles
and can be sold by a person able to read
the labels Mr.. Upson said he would be
glad to fill orders on the spot.
Mr., Upson then picked up a pile Of
corTespondence, and as soon as there
was hull he glanced through a few letters,
still eager to pick up beauty pointers
wherever he could find them. One letter
from a woman In Flatbush said:
Please send me bottle OF your ointment
got bottle from another face doctor and
used 1t three times and 1t didn't have the
least effect. Ny friends tell me that since
i nave Deen using beauty ointment iOOh
worse than ever. The last stun ] used
closed one OF my eyes and blstered my
cheeks. don't see why should pay my
good money and get no benefit.
An Indiana man had this so say:
After receiving your letter decided to
follow your advice in regard to my nose
1t s very thick at the point. l have
squeezed 1t many times. thinking to make
Ii smaller. but l am sure my efforts make
my nose longer and broader ut the point,
| got a machine from another doctor once
to pinch the nose. But ii only made IL
worse and made it swell terribly. There
is q little white mark on top OF my nose.
1t used to be red. but now 1t Is hard and
shiny. white looking. have tried lots OF
things. but they were no use.
Mr., Upson said late yesterday after.
noon, Just before he left for Glen Ridge,
that he guessed the business OF the der
matological institute under his manage
ment would be confined to selling bottled
preparntions. He isn't a doctor. he said,
and the County Medical Society might
be justified in getting after him for prac-
tisinR medicine without a license II he
tried to compete with any of the regular
beauty doctors in town.
There were indications yesterday after
noon that the harmonious relations be-
tween the PLASTIC surgeon" who occupies
the front half Of the Office and the derina-
tological institute in the rear may become
strained. Along about O'Clock. when
the PLASTIC surgeon's' patients we're ar
riyipR in squads, Mr.. upson said some
