The reason Air-Float Talcum is- so fine and delicate is due to our unusual process of manufacturing the raw talc into the finished powder. After our talc is powdered the finest possible, then it is blown into the air in a tightly sealed room. All heavy particles sink and are discarded?only the powder that is light enough to float is drawn off through suction pipes, delightfully perfumed, and packed in handsome air-tight boxes. We are the only manufacturers who use this Air-Float process, and by nr other method can anyone obtain a talcum powder similar to There is nothing like it for purity, delicacy, and flowery, fragrant freshness.
