Ave. N.W, The Daintier Your Clothes soaps merely ROCKBOTTOM PRICES 3—Branches—3 F you seek beauty—and what woman doesn’t—take the advice of profes- sional beauty experts. They are scientifically trained to help you in your beauty problems, just as your doctor is in matters of health. Over 20,000 of the leading beauty specialists, in all parts of the world, unite in recommendipg just one beauty aid. On no other would they remotely agree. That is probably natural. But they are unanimous in urging the use of Palmolive Soap. That is unique. No other soap—no other beauty aid — can claim this distinction. Ordinary soaps may harm Beauty specialists know that the true difference in soaps is in their effect upon the skin. And so they warn of the harm that may come from using ordinary soaps. Some soaps, presumably for complexion use, are made of animal fats. Many women do not know this. But beauty experts know. That is why so many of them utge the daily use of Palmolive—and Palmolive only. 4 ...the greater No animal fats That is why they advise Palmolive. For your own sake you should know the reasons. Because Palmolive is made of vegetable oils—not one bit of animal fat. Because —and this is important—these vegetable oils are olive and palm oils—the oils that have stood supreme for cosmetic use for genera- tions. Because the creamy, lotion-like lather of this soap, with its olive oil content, penetrates deeply into every tiny pore and minute gland and purges them of poisonous accumulations of dirt, powder and impurities, yet washes so gently that your comylexion is actually soothed as you cleanse it. Don’t gamble with your complexion. It is too precious. When tempted to use ordinary soaps, or soaps with gilded claims, remember; Palmolive is pure—just exactly what that word means; it contains no animal fats of any kind. Olive and palm oils, and no other fats whatsoever, are used in Palmolive. Its delicate natural color comes from the fine vegetable oils of which it is made. Palmolive is naturally wholesome, just like the complexions it fosters. No wonder over 20,000 experts unite in urging the use of Palmolive. No wonder they say to you it is Nature’s formula, to keep that schoolgirl complexion. Months of extra wear make the saving a real one. And 3-Day Service because of highly modern methods.
