Use Cocoanut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkaH. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain muIsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- ttreIy greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply noisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoon fuIs will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves it fine and silky bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get muIsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyonc in4the family for months.

ABOUT PRICES

One of the principles Of our business is "oNE PRICE FOR ALL" We do not make a practice Of cutting off our small margin of profit to beat out competitor on a contract. We figure the same price for the person who wilI have no other work but ours as we would if there were fifty other firms figuring on the work. The firm which does one job at no profit must figure a double profit on the next customer and you may be the victim.
