The secret of the remarkable
success of Nine. c. j. Walkers
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam G. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where. n
@ Nine. c. J. Walkers Glossine.
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
OF every woman.
