One day the president of the Brooks Barley Company in- vited a friend to inspect his factory with him, where the famous infant food, Brooks’ Baby Barley is made. They went from department to de- partment watching barley in the process of grading and re- fining, mixing, testing and packing—noting the marvelous machinery and the skill which made the product so hygeni- cally and scientifically correct. “What impressed you most " asked the president of his guest. “To tell the truth, it was the extraordinary beauty of all the girls employed,” the guest replied. “I never saw anything like their complex- ions—so natural, blooming and unblemished.” The astonished president realized that a great discovery had been made, that the fine thin barley dust in the air had converted his factory workers into extraordinary beauties. Experiments were immediately begun with barley as the base for face powders and complexion lotions. They have resulted in success be- yond belief. Barley is the world’s most wonderful natu- ral restorer and beautifier. It fceds the pores, removes blemishes, freckles, windburn and sets the face aglow with health and youth.
