Hair
that sparkles /!

No one can deny the Importance
Of having the hair arranged in the
style best suited to the individual
type. Much of the effect Is lost,
however. unless the hair Is kept
soft. abundant, lustrous.
A million busy women and girls
know the easiest way to keep the
hair in perfect condition Is with
Danderine. The first application will
show you how marvelously it re-
moves excess oil from the hair;
cleanses it; makes 1t sparkle with
new life and lustre. It's so simple
to use Danderine. All you do is put
a little on your brush each time
YOU arrange your hair! The con-
sistent use of Danderine will dis
solve the worst crust of dandruff;
soothe. heal the scalp; stimulate
the growth of long, silky abundant
hair.
Danderins isn't sticky or oily;
doesn't show. It makes the hair
easy to manage; holds it in place
for hours. "Set" your waves with
1t and see how much longer they
stay in.
