La-May Face Powder
Stays on Better
Than Any Other

A specialist has at last perfected a
pure face powder that really stays on
better than any other. II does not
contain white lead or starchy rice
powder to make IL stick. Five thou
sand dollars is offered any chem ~
who analyses IL and finds II contains
any white lead or rice powder. White,
lead poisons the skin and rice powder
turns into gluey paste that encour-
ages enlarged pores, blackheads ana
rice powder pimples. This improved
formula contains a medicinal powder
doctors use to-heal the skin In fact
this new powder helps to prevent and
reduce enlarged pores, blackheads and
pimples. II Is called La-may (French
Poudre L'Ame). Because IL 10 pure
and because IL stays on better than
any other Il is already used by over
a million American women and IL sold
by thousands of dealers everywhere.
The large size Is only fifty cents and
the trial size twenty-five cents When
you see how wonderfully II beautifies
your complexion you will understand
why La-may so quickly became the
most popular beauty powder sold H.
