Bought By Carr and Juneau

The final curtain has been rung
down on the Auto-Sales Vending Co.,
with the sale of what is left of the
TOOLS shafting, pulleys, betting, etc,
to Carr and Juneau. The concern
which had rather of a meteoric career
ceased operations about four years
ago. Since then the stock and fur
niShings, machines. ETC., valued at
many thousands of dollars have been
gradually disposed of. The recent sale
closes out everything of any use once
owned by the deceased company.
1t is understood that many local

a money maker. Machines for vend-

Face Wrinkled?
Complexion SaIIow?
Then Why Not Treat Your Skin
as Beautiful French Women Doo

Paris:-Science has discovered
that faded, mottled, aged-lookine
compilations can be virtually renewed
and made surprisingly beautiful by
means OF the following recipe: Merely
wash your face with clear, warm wa
ter and rub in teaspoonful of Creme
Tokalon Roseated; wipe the face and
apply Poudre Petalias. a very fine
complexion powder prepared especial
ly for shiny noses and bad complex
ions. II your face is badly wrinkled,
get box Of Japanese Ice Pencils to
use In connection with the roseated
cream and you should get quick ac-
ton on even the deepest wrinkles.
Thus do famous French actresses pre-
serve the rare beauty Of their COM
plexions, and If you were to pay hun
drc1s Of dollars for special treatment
you probably would not be anything
like as we'll off as by using this simple
and inexpensive recipe.
