"1 use Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that 1 am unable to get from any
other preparation,” stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the* fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam C. J, Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly^ popular, anl not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these gdodM,
they are stUI in demand every
where. 0
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glonine.
vllthough more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the deUght
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walkev’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro-
■duce the perfect blend to imsart
a velvetlMe softness ahj[ at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
