M
Do You Give Your FACE the same
Attention You Give
Your FEET?
We know that sounds like a silly question, but never
theless it is true that many women give their feet bet
ter attention than they do their faces, believe it or not.
Painfully exacting as to quality, style and fit of new
steea, they buy -without thinking any kind of cosmetics
which sport a low price tag.
We sell only the better, nationally advertised cosmetics,
of proven worth and value.. Give your face a break
and don't risk ruining your Complexion with cheap sub
stitutes.
