Life lensitive skin and stubborn beard” | So it HAS to be MENNEN Here’s the first Contest Prize Winning Letter Mr. H. R. Bowen, 6720 Leland Way, | Hollywood, California, wins the travel- ing bag for the first Mennen bag con- | test. Here’s his letter: Dear Jim Henry: 1 found Mennen Shaving Cream as I found my favorite tobacco—by Elimination. Do you remember how you searched and searched for THE tobacco for your favorite pipe? How you eliminated and eliminated until you found the brand which soothed and pleased the tongue? Having a combination of a sensitive skin and a stubborn beard I had to seek a Super- Cream. A Cream which would soften my beard and yet not frritate my skin, I tried and eliminated various creams until I found Mennen. The One Cream to satisfy all re- quirements, After five years of companion- ship, we are pals. “Mennen-ly” yours, (Signed) H. R. Bowen You fellows who smoke pipes know what it is to hit upon just the right to- bacco. And the first time you lather up and shave with Mennen Shaving Cream, you'll get as great a kick as from your first pipeful of some rich, mellow, old blend of tobacco, The secret’s in Dermutation—the unique Mennen process of beard soften- ing. It gives a quicker, better shave and leaves your face cleaner, smoother and better conditioned than anything you ever tried. The 100% right feeling that Mr. Bowen was hunting for and found. | The best things in life come by elimi- nation. Try every other way to shave— then you’ll come to Mennen for keeps. The big tube costs only 50c, Then get set on Mennen Skin Balm for after shaving. It’s tingly, cool, re- freshing—and tones up the skin. Comes in 50c tube. Better than liquids. And | Mennen Talcum for Men for the final | well-groomed touch. Matches your skin —doesn’t show. Antiseptic. Protecting against the weather. pis (CM eveee Sale 25c for a large tin.

And in whatother call of life are the rewards greater or more satisfactory for good and faith- ful service? I do now believe that, should all source of income ever fail me, it might be better, instead of be- coming a fortune teller or setting up a popcorn stand, as I have hitherto thought of doing, to go out as a lady’s maid, for then I should be sheltered and travelled and possibly, through endearing myself indis- pensably to my mistress, be left a substantial sum for my anility. Whilst we were on this subject I did tap softly on the table, however, having been extremely fortunate all my life with my domestic attendants, in many cases having greater diffi- culty to dispose of than retain them. But I did not mention this to Meg, whose unhappy fate it is to be al- ways surrounded by strangers. June My husband, poor wretch, a-bawling at me carly for 17th having agreed to dine with Henry Pickens this night, nor could I get out of him his objections to going, neither, Henry's cellar and chef being amongst the most cele- brated the town boasts, but he did finally confess that he suspected Henry of desiring every one of his dinner guests to talk like a character in a smart English drawing-room play, and he would be damned, ete. And whilst we were discussing, a telephone message came that our prospective host had been summoned to Washington on important busi- ness, so Sam set out for his office feeling like a darling of the gods, which is one of the most agrecable sensations I know of....Walking through the town this morning I did spy in a shop window one of those hats which look as if they were made in heaven for me, so in to purchase it, albeit I do know that Sam will probably say that the angels seem to be working overtime on my account. I do strive sometimes in such moments of temptation to fix my mind on things which are unseen and eternal (which might be interpreted not unreasonably as merchants’ invoices), but the things | scen and temporal have greater sway with me, alas! I am not the stuff of which martyrs are made, I fear, but when I ponder the question seri- ously, I cannot see much point in anybody’s being a martyr. And yet when you think of all the men of affairs who have had their turns at making tapestry and building little tables at Dr. Riggs’—well, it’s a great problem, whichever way you do look at it.
