Y ADDITION IS WRONG you
sayr is o it is not for that is
just what three 10c. cakes of
my hne WITCH HAZEL SKIN
SOAP costs.
1
F you take one cake it is 10c. but
11 you take three or 1 lt. of fine
toilet soaps, you only pay 25c.
THERE is nothing fancy about this
soap. Vou don't pay for a lot of
chromos or lace paper, You get
what you pay for; a pound of the
fines palm oil soap into which a pure
extract of witch hazel has been work
ed, which keeps the hand soft and
smooth. Then we have the same soap
which contains CUCUMBER CREAM
instead of witch hazel. This is thought
by some to be superior to any. We
will mix a box and give you some of
each. Try it this cold weather.
