How Many } has Four Funny thing about money. A half dollar looks different every time you lift it out of your pocket, It’s hardly big enough to count when you are taking a girl to a show and supper, but next day it looks like a mil- lion dollars when you invest it at a lunch counter, The more it buys the harder it is to spend. All of which is suggested by what a mil- lionaire said to me the other day—as free a spender as I ever passed a hotel evening with :— “Look here, Jim,” he said, “I can’t see that 50 cent size of Mennen’s —it’s too much coin to spend at one time for shaving cream. ce “But it’s a bigger tube,” I protested, “vou get more for your money than in the regular 35 cent size. “T know,” he answered, slipping half a dollar to the waiter, “but 35 cents is my price for shaving cream.” Ain't human nature wonderful? In our fifty cent tube of Mennen's there’s enough shaving cream to bring peace and the joy of living into a man’s life every morning for many months— Faces its ? Enough cream to soften the meanness out of two seasons’ crops of stubble And a quality of shaving cream so fine, so untustial, so remarkable— —say, have you ever tried Mennen's Shaving Cream? Have you taken a half inch on a drenched brush and whipped it for three minufes into a creamy, firm, moist lather—with the brush only—using a lot of water, hot or cold— —and then slipped the razor down the east facade of your jaw in the most deli- ciously glorious shave of your career? You've got to know Mennen’s to like it. Send me 12 cents and I'll mail a demon- strator tube. Try it! Then reason with yourself calmly if many months of such shaves aren't worth the price of two Per- fectos. , (Men nen Salesmun ) Jim Henry, The Mennen Company ee Newark, N. J, - Send me the demonstrator the - Here's the 12 cents If Mennen’s Is os as gout 25 you say—60 cents a tube 7 won't stop me. 2 oe pe N&ING.sscnees savepccccscopcas + cncccessanscen aa -" Address comicbooks;com
