THAT priceless treasure—a
clear, flawless, lovely skin
charms, with admiration, the
hearts of men.
First impressions cannot be
good without a clear skin—first
impressions are quickly made and
are not soon forgotten. Old
friends may excuse pimples and
secretly sympathize but new ac
quaintances may not be so char
itable. Skin blemishes are not in
viting. Neither can they be cov
ered up. They embarrass. Hold
people back. Steal away joy and
happiness.
A lovely—clear skin—is within
the reach of all. To those who
have lost it, hope is
offered. You, too,
may have a beautiful
skin, rose-petal in tex
ture, pretty as a pic
ture and without a
single pimple.
