One of the Eminent Men of Your Profession

therefore interferes with Natures method of
protecting the teeth.
Inasmuch analysis showed that practically all the
popular well advertised dentfice either strongly
alkaline or were merely candy favored compounds it
seemed to that the House Of Mennen would be doing
service to the public by producing modern scientific
ally correct dentifrice. ;--.. .....~
Our bic the which our chemists, aided by
n-,LJ..1 number of dental scientists who rank as
PIooieha leaders of your profession, have success
fully solved was to produce non-alkaLne dentifrice
which would clean whten and polish the teeth without
securing grinding them which would break down
formations and mucn plaques and which would stnnu-
late flow of saliva for a long time.
Considered purely cleansing and polishing agent,
believe you will class Mennens Cream Dentifrice az
superior to anything that has been offered the public
The breaking down of formations and "paques"
is accomplished ecacousy by ingredients of recognized
value for this purpose Mennen Cream Dentifice intro
duces into the mouth fruit acid in solid form which only
dissoves in contact with water and does not so often
the case break down and combine with the other inged
ets to form sodium salt and thus defeat its This
fruit acid exerts stimulating influence the savary
glands and increases the flow and akainity of saliva

or acid in the mouth We shall not offer Mennens as
substitute for regular and frequent visits good dentist
We shall simply claim that Mennens effectively cleanses
whtens and poshes the teeth that it breaks down and
prevents tartar formations and mucin "plaques and
that it aids Nature to teeth by increasing the
secretion flow and akalnity of saliva, which Natures
agent for neutralizing the acids of food decay.
We shall claim that Mennens Cream Dentifrice is

If any of your patients express interest in Mennen

You have unquestonably developed the best
dentifrice that is made but please avoid the mis-
take of every other dentifrice manufacturer
don't ask and expect dentists to sell it for you."
This same gentleman who practices and teaches
at great dental school in Philadelphia, has given
invaluable aid to our chemists, keeping them
posted on the latest results of scientific research
and suggesting notifications of our formula.

We fully appreciate the ethical standards of your pro.
fesson and we have purpose enlist your aid in the
marketing OF Mennens Cream Dentfrce but we do want
you to judge the scientific theory which our Dentfrice
based and to know how sincerely have to pro-
duce Dentitrlce in accord with the most advanced
thought of dentistry.
We had pretty good dentifrice formula several years
ago-nothns remarkable but fully good as any other

An unbroken is to place the name "Mennen'' only

starchy powders which were harmful to a babys skin
Mennen Shaving Cream introduced radically new type
of shaving soap that has become the favorite with millions
OF men. Mennens wonderful Kora- -Konia supplies the
only satisfactory treatment for chafng severe skin ir
ttons and baby rashes We could employ entifrice
formula which did not up to this Mennen stand

About four years learned that the dental pro-

!uc"d AT 4 cost Of about % u cents

ta:ned. Mr.. Hardins said. Thus tne

tual cost of production. 1t was not
expected that the producers should

to Q reasonable profit There was 1T

than that Of / t year. Consequently.
the extreme necessity Of reducing

Conserving the vallie of the crop
already produced was the greatest
problem confronting the cotton
Grower With the organization Of :;
cotton corporation, to become tn"
selling agent in foreign fields the
grower could assign a definite por-
+ion of his crop each year to the for
eien market; all artificial stimulation
of the market would thus be eliminat-
ed. and the cost of production and
;:lc demand for the crop yield their
natural influences upon the market.
