This page contains two distinct elements: **Left side:** A Glostora hair product advertisement featuring male head profiles demonstrating the product's grooming benefits. The ad promises natural-looking, orderly hair that stays in place—targeting men concerned with appearing well-groomed and refined. **Right side:** A testimonial advertisement for Edgeworth pipe tobacco. A man writes to the manufacturer claiming he was skeptical about pipe smoking until trying Edgeworth. He describes being converted from cigarettes, attributing his change to finding "the right tobacco." The ad emphasizes that Edgeworth made pipe-smoking "a joy forever" and includes product images and purchasing information. **Center:** A continuation of Life's charitable "Camps for Needy Children" donation list, showing contributors' names and amounts. The page juxtaposes masculine grooming (hair product) with masculine leisure (pipe smoking)—both appealing to early 20th-century ideals of the refined, well-presented man. The testimonial format lends credibility to the product claim, a common advertising technique of the era.

Here's Mr, Bayer, for example. He once thought he couldn’t smoke a pipe. He had ex. perimented with about all the pipes and all the tobacco on the market. But it took a trip to Canada, and a can of Edgeworth, to convince him that with the right tobacco, pipe-smoking is a joy forever. Let Mr. Bayer tell you about it: St. Paul, Minn. une 1, 1927 Larus & Bro. Co. Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: “ About five years ago, after trying out many different styles of pipes from the Missouri meerschaum to the genuine meerschaum, including the upside-down style made’ popular by Vice-President Dawes, and experimenting with just about all the tobaccos then on the market except Edgeworth, I finally decided that pipe-smoking was not for me. For the last year or so I noticed the boys around the office here using Edge- worth to the exclusion of all other to- baccos and evidently getting real pleasure from their pipes. In April of this year I was in Canada on a business trip and decided to take another whirl at pipe-smoking. So I in- vested a good share of my savings in a pipe and a few cents additional for a can of Edgeworth. From then on I have been figuratively kicking myself around the block about once each day when I think of the five lean years I put in trying to get along without a pipe. However, I am trying to make up for lost time and am suc- ceeding quite well. Why I failed to try Edgeworth long ago will have to go down in history as an unsolved question. But now that I have found it, the years abead look rosy to me. Very truly yours, Ben Bayer. Many men have stopped envying pipe smokers and joined the happy throng themselves. It wasn't high-priced tobacco that made pipe smokers of them. It wasn’t a_ different pipe. It was noth- ing else but good old Edgeworth. To those who have never tried Edgeworth, we make this offer: Let us send you free sam- ples of Edge- worth so that you may put it to the pipe test. If you like the samples, you'll like Edgeworth wherever an whenever you buy it, for it never changes in quality.
