NINETYPER CENT OF GIRLS ARE VICTIMS
Glaring truth brought out by recent investigation of
 widely used method.

The tremendous sale of the Beauty Creations which are being sold under the now famous Black and White la bel and which have caused so much discussion among beauty and skin specialists has resulted in a thor ough sitting out of valuable informa- ton.
 Girls and women who have bad complexion. and who have been try Ing first one thing then another to bring that clear, rosy and pleasing appearance to their faces, can trace their failure to just one thing, and that is-the methods they have been using do not get lasting results.
 It is true that many things have been offered to them through flashy advertising, promising instant and almost overnight relief from pim- rles, blotches, rough or sallow skin. and all too unsuspecting in their eagerness to be attractive they be- lieve 1t.
 But not until the now famous Black and White Beauty Creations were perfected a few years ago had anything really reliable been avail able. This is proven by the many girls and women who regularly use Black and White Cleansing Cream, Peroxide Cream, Soap and the many others to meet every need in the care of their complexions and which Is the reason Black and White Beauty Creations are being sold so widely.
