= > | | Williams ‘88sr* produces a lather that differs from all others. First, in body. It is thick and close and profuse. Second, in lasting qualities. It holds its moisture and re- mains on the face, thick and creamy, without the drying and smarting effects of other kinds. ‘Third, in its action. It softens the beard and soothes the face as no other lather does. Fourth, in its after effect. Unlike the lather of other soaps, it always leaves the face cool, comfortable and refreshed. ‘The only kind that won't smart or dry on the face.”” ‘scents in stamps for W Shaving Stick or a cake of Luxury Shaving trial size.
