YOUNG MEMS HAIR
STRONG REASONS WHY 1T SHOULD
BE CAREFULLY CARED FOR

Badness among young men Is getting
TO be a serious industrial problem
In these days of keen competition
when soulless, grasping corporations
are demanding and getting the best,
most vigorous and energetic men in the
country, II is a well-known fact that
young men have the preference, and
that many corporations have made il
rule TO retire employees at % and 50
years Of age, and TO replace them with
younger and seemingly more vigorous
men.
The baldheaded man at IS nowadays
will have just as hard time finding a
desirable job as the man Of 50 with lux
uriant hair.
For this reason alone. every man who
cares anything for those dependent up
on him should take care OF his hair.
Don't become bald or gray and old
looking at 50, or 70, or 80. Take care
Of your hair and you can better take
care Of your job.
If you have dandruff, look out. Your
scalp is full of little germs. digging
night and day into the roots Of the hair,
and destroying that vitality without
which healthy hair is impossible.
Perhaps you will be glad 10 know that
Henry Evans has a guarantee cure for
dandruh called Partisan Sage, that viii
remove every trace of dandTuG IN two
weeks or you can have your money
back
That's a pretty fair offer. isn't it?
But let him 20 further and say that
Partisan Sage is also guaranteed TO stop
falling hair, itching Of the scalp, and
TO grow hair if the hair root be not
dead.
And the ladies Of Washington ought
70 know that a large percentage Of the
beautiful women Of America are using
Partisan Sage. because it is the most de-
lightful, refreshing, and invigorating
hair dressing made. It viii quickly

into luxuriant, soft, and beautiful hair.
The price is 90 cents a bottle from
Henry Evans or by express, all charges
prepaid, from the sole makers in Amer
lea, the GirOux Mfg Co. Buffalo. N y.
People who live in Washington are sure
OF getting Partisan Sage from Henry
Evans, but in many towns cheap imi-
tatiOnS similar in name are being offer
ed for Partisan Sage. Look for the

ELECTRICITY AND THE BARBER

Joke as much as you please about
the loquacious barber and his dull in
struments of torture, but be KIND
enough to remember that he has not
been backward about keeping fully
abreast of the times in the matter OF
up-to-date devices for the benefit Of his
patrons.
In the first place the barber appreci-
ates good artificial light, and the new
tungsten incandescent lamps, with their
pure white light, high candle-power
and low current consumption. met with
his instant approval. Today nearly all
the best barber shoSs equipped with
electric light are burning these new
lamps and the people who have to have
their hair cut under the rays of an
artificial light can also appreciate the
change. Electric fans and small motor
driven air compressors have been used
in barber shops for years, and as soon
machines, driven by a tiny motor,
came on the market the barber shops
began to use them with great success.
One of the very latest devices for
this trade is the electric hair dryer
After a patrons hair has been sham
pooed the hair dryer is started up and
n fine breeze of warm Or hot air
ouicklv dries the hair. Among the
other electrical devices common to
barber shops are the manicuring out
fits. ventilating hair combs. electro
revolving brushes for patrons coats anu
that's. and shoe polishing machines
There is also an electrically operated
razor. working on the vibration princl-
pie The hair dryers are both motor
operated and electrically heating de-
vices are curling irons, hot water cup:
and urns. and cigar lighters.
