MAKE SUN TANNING FUN
oal2s3

Gated, it is likely to become rough
and coarse and deeply lined.
When you come out of the sun 1t
is wise to wash off the oil with
warm water, being careful not to
rub the skin roughly, and apply a
coating of vinegar. If your skin Is
normally dry or if you feel that you
have been exposed o%ver-long, you
might rub a bit Of rich cream into
your skin and leave it on overnight.
Drink plenty of water before and
after being in the sun. The heat of
the sun makes you perspire and you
need more water to replace the fluid
thus lost.
Don't be frightened out Of your
share OF summer pleasures by fear
of over-exposure to the sun. Just
follow these simple rules-lots of
water, frequent coatings Of oil, and
plenty of common sense-and you
can have a glorious, carefree sum-
mer.

Hollywood, California-Motion
picture moguls from all indepen-

George Randol had with his first
all colored cast film which was
completed in record time here last

George Randol Productions have

Evidence of the efforts expsnd-

distributing pictures for the last
twenty years to houses which have
colored patrons as their predomi-

wonderful opportunity awaiting
the producers and distributors of
colored pictures and is getting on
the ground floor.
Randol has been contacted by
almost every independent produ-
ycer in the movie capital and they
are asking how he brought the
picture under the wire and how
he saved so much money. 1t is a
known fact that there is so much
waste in the movie city that many

You have never seen an adver-
tisement Of one of these gyps. You
never will. There are two reasons
why.
One is that no reputable news
paper will accept their advertising.
because a newspaper takes its OBJ
legation to its readers so seriously
that it investigates advertisers and
rejects those that do not give hon.
est value.
The second reason is that adver-
tising is an investment, and not a
gamble. And these pitch men are
gamblers.
The man who advertises says in
effect to you: 81 am operating a
business In your service. will Of
fer goods You want. My prices will
be reasonable. / have become a
definite part of this community. My
money is invested here. Here 1 in

munity life. l sell good goods, and
in my advertising I tell the truth
about them
Because you have been 'gypped"
by buying wild cat brands and by
patronizing itinerant peddlers and
door-to-door solicitors without re-
sponsible place in the community,
you now buy advertised goods from
merchants who advertise.
This is the course which is fol-
lowed by the shrewdest buyers. It
is the course they have discovered
which pays them the best.
1t will also pay you best.
