An Extra Large
Bottle of Earno
for One Dollar

For a dollar you can buy at any
toilet goods counter full l2-ounce
bottle OF Famo.
Many hair tonies charge more
for a bottle that is one-third
smaller.
This means that you can use
Famo every day for little more
than half of what il would cost for
some preparations.
And Famo actually does what no
other hair treatment will do.
II attacks Seborrhea, the cause
of dandruf, and stops the sebor-
rhean flow that causes the dandruff
scale.
Famo ends falling hair and itch
ing scalp. II makes the head as
sweet and clean as a baby's.
Famo contains no alcohol to
cause scalp and hair dryness. II
postponcs grayness by making and
keeping the hair healthy.
The regular daily use OF Famo
makes the hair soft and luxuriant
and gives it beautiful gloss and
sheen.
Every one in the family should
use Famo every day.
Sold at all toilet goods counters
