Waiting for Saturday
Night ,
Most people bathe too infrequently.
If our soap manufacturers could educate the
public to take a bath daily, not only would national
health increase, but aggregate sales and profits on
soap would mount up tremendously as a reward.
Then why not?
Those with noses who travel in trains, ride in
elevators or sit in public halls must have frequent
stirring evidence of the opportunity for betterment,
in the matter of personal cleanliness.
Gillette and other razor kings have successfully
preached the daily shave.
An "educational" campaign might well increase
the baths per week from say, 100,000,000 to
300,000,000.
'To broaden a market, increase the frequency of
use and, as a rule, the number of users is also
increased.
Too many of us wait for Saturday night.

Good Taste
ykjM&m
True indication of good taste mental qual
ity is shown in many ways, perhaps most
clearly in music.
We are proud that so many of those noted for
good taste are placing Pathe Le Phono
graphe de Qualite in their homes.
They appreciate that the exquisitely clear,
smooth tone is a distinguishing Pathe qual
ity. It comes from the all-wood violin sound
chamber in full mellow volume free from
needle hiss or metallic blare.
The cabinets are in harmony with the fin
ished Pathfi tone and also distinctively re
flect good taste. The many designs are beau
tifully finished.
Hear and see the Pathe and then you'll ap
preciate why it's known as the quality phono
graph. And it is on quality that the Pathe
Phonographs are sold although the price is
really low for so fine an instrument from
?50 to $1000.
The Pathfi Shop or any Pathe Dealer will ex
tend to you every convenience for the inspec
tion and purchase of a-Path6 Phonograph.
Look for Le Chanticleer Rouge, the sign of
Pathe. '
