Married men usu- ally know the reason why. —Show FHF “The ol’ woman she jaws, and jaws, and then some!” “What she jaw about?” “She don’t say!” —Pink’un $4.00 Mennen Lather Brush for $1.25 Thad an old lather brush. It was worn and weary. Its bristles were down to less than an inch. It was an antique, and had that kind of odor. But I could work it. That’s because I use the prod- uct I sell—Mennen Shaving Cream. A new brush seemed indicated. I bought one. I bought some more. Home-make and import. From $2.50 up—way up. My ambi- tion was not to make a collection, but I suc- ceeded, yes sir, as if with grim determination. None of em would do. Then we developed the Mennen Lather Brush. Oh, man! It’s the real thing. Soft and silky. Won't prick the skin. Works up the lather quickly, richly and plenty. I never knew there was so much lather in the world. Spreads smoothly over the cheek area and snuggles into the corners, too. Easily the equal of any $4-priced brush—if not better. I buried the old brush, with tears in my eyes, and buried it deep. We first put the new brush in our Mennen for Men Gift Box last Christmas. It went like hot coffee in camp. So I got Mr. Mennen to let me sell 100,000 at the special price of $1.25. They'll sell like Mennen Shaving Cream. Send me a section of a Mennen Shaving Cream carton showing the trade-mark and $1.25 and I’ll mail you yours. Yourmoney back if you don’t think it’s a bargain. The 100,000 won't last long in our factory, but they'll last a whale of a while in 100,000 bathrooms, os -e 6 You've been using Mennen Shaving Cream and Mennen Talcum for Men ever since they captured the preference of millions. You'd rather lose a raise in salary than switch. But have you tried Mennen Skin Balm—after shaving? Gives a tingle, then cooling comfort— brisk, refreshing, antiseptic. Comes in tubes—no ‘pottles to break. Makes the skin look and feel 100%. Try spending 50c for a big tube. I'll ship you A four bits if you are not in happy.
