ADVERTISING SECTION. E have found a way to give the million men who tame their beards with Mennen’s a little more Shaving Cream for their money. We are now making, in addition to the 35 cent size, a he-size, portly tube with enough Cream in it to last six months. The economy of it works out this way. One big empty tube of pure tin costs less than two small tubes. (If pure tin goes ‘any higher they’ll be making jewelry of it.) A big tube can be filled, packed, labelled and sold for almost the same labor cost as a small tube—or for much less than the cost of two small tubes. These several savings pay for quite a lot of extra cream. The big tube holds mote, in proportion to its cost, than the regular 35 cent tube. Of course, you can buy the 35 cent size and get good value for your money, but when you wrap your fingers around this ‘‘ 42 centimeter ” new tube of ours, youll know you are getting your money’s worth—plus. G. Mennen Chemical Co. Newark, N. J. A Giant Tube -5Of Send for one of our 12c demonstrator tubes. Squeeze a half-inch into your wet brush. Agitate it on the point of your chin until a lather forms and then spread. Add gradually about three times as much water, hot or cold, as you usual- ly use, work the lather with the brush for three full minutes—don’t rub with the fingers. Then go through the form of shaving. It won’t seem like shaving. Your razor will glide over your counte- nance the way it did the first time you removed a boyish down from your upper lip. Afterwards your face will feel great. About three such tests will convince you that 50 cents is a cheap price for six months of perfect shaves. fin het (Mennen Salesman) Ja 77 ANS.
