THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
ARE NOW Converted
Black and White Beauty
Trail" draws many new
followers each|year.

When the dtscoverers of the mar
vicious Black and White Beauty Crea-
lions first~|announced TO the girls and,
women of this country that they had at
last perfected a means of really correct
ing bad com plexions, It was regarded az
Sinply another Wild claim which would
explode when put to practical use.
But as each year has passed since
that memora BILE day Tin June. 1919 the
figures show that large numbers of new
converts have been added to the Black
and White label. until now Black and
White Beauty Creations are selling at
the phenomenal rate OF more than eight
million, packages a year.
When asked recently TO give the rea-
Son for the tremendous popularity and
big sale OF Black and White Beauty
Creations, one OF the chemists said:
ITO use ii s nothing out of the ordinary
for such Black and White Beauty Crea-
lions as Cleansing Cream and Peroxide
Cream TO get such universal approval
among girls and women everywhere.
These enormous sales mean but one
thing, and that is-Black and White
Beauty Creations are actually accom-
phshing what women expect in caring
for their complexion TO keep IL looking
smooth and clear without a lot Of
trouble.
"One or two packages are sold in
neigh borhood through the advertising
and twenty more are bought there be-
cause the first ones bring such astonisn-
ing results. People are always ready to
tell others about q method which helps
them accomplish what other things
failed to do"
Not week passes that fails to bring
out hundreds of statements from girls
and women about the wonderful results
they get in correcting bad complexion
by using Black and White Cleansing and
Peroxide Cream. This alone Is sufficient
70 explain the phenomenal "a les of the
Black and White Beauty Creations and
IL the best reason power on earth can
can keep them off the dressing tables
OF girls and women all over the country.
