THE GROWN OF SUCCESS
(From the Denver Statesman.)

(From the Denver Statesman.)
A year ago the first announcement
was made of the wonderful success
which Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made
in the growth of her own hair, and
1t is her intention to give the ben
eft of her knowledge to the world
at large. Being one of the best
known women in this section of the
country, already the news OCCASION
ed much comment, and many peo-
pie who had known her for years.
came to realize for the first time
that the magnificent suit Of hair she
has now was the product Of a very
short time and that a bare three
years ago she wore her hair in short
curls, not braided and dressed as
she now does. That success begets
success, was evident from the start.
Her classes in the care of the scalp
and the growth and identifying of
the hair were filled at once. They
grew in prodigious bounds and some
weeks ago she was compelled to
abandon her out-of-town classes AL
together. She confines herself now
to treatments at her home in the
Highlands and to mail order busi-
ness.
In the special articles which will
appear from time to time in this pa
per, we delight to call attention to
success in various lines achieved by
people of this city and state. both
that there may be honor paid to
whom honor is due, and also that
proper appreciation and patronage
may come to pioneers in business
among us. Personal profit for them
selves and example and encourage
ment for us all go hand in hand in
success won by members Of our race.
Even the mean spirited should not
begrudge the one when so much ia
accomplished for the whole people M
the same time.
In her business Mrs. Perkins does
not play the part of charlatan. bnt
sets forth clearly the possibilities a.
her work, and her greatest ENDORSE
ment falls short of the painstakinp
endeavor and thorough going knowi.
edge she uses. We have seen her
grow and grow, we know that aha
has succeeded and we, therefore,
predict that In no great length -
time she will be doing q business
that will rival any mail order hat
ness conducted by woman Of omr
race IN any department Of endeavor.

To the Public:

HUNDREDS OF WOMEN PRAISE
HEP

Denver, COL, April %, 1909.
To Whom it May Concern:
I find it pleasure to say a word
in praise Of Madam Perkins, and her
remarkable success in scientific scalp
treatment.
Madam Perkins, for many years a
resident of Denver, is an active
member of Zion Baptist church, and
one of the most favorably known
women in our state. The beautiful
hair of hundreds of women in our
city and other parts of the state is
tribute to her phenomenal success
in her profession. The wonderful
growth of her own hair is a most
remarkable testimony. I cheerfully
recommend her to all ladies who may
be interested in the growing and
identifying of the hair.
- Respectfully,
DAVID E. OVER,
Pastor Zion Baptist Church.
