Every successful merchant now-a-
days is looking for the best merchan-
dise bearing a legitimate profit that
he may please his most discriminat-

I wonder how Mary Pickford would
look without her curls? I expect it
would hurry her to make that million
a year out of the movies without
them. You girls don't all star in the
movies—but nature endowed most of
you with hair almost as beautiful as
Mary's. Here is the difference, Mary
took care of her's, you didn't. Better
come in today and buy a bottle of
Scotch Tone Hair Restorer, use it as
directed once a day for ten days, and
your hair will be restored to its form-
er luster and beauty. Use it once or
twice a week thereafter and keep it

willow powder made by Henry Tet-
low, a very good powder too by the
way, is one of the largest of the fifty
cent packages of face powder on the I
market, "but what we started to say," j
was that Tetlow has a new package |
now; Pussywillow in compact form,!
and he claims the new package con-1
tains the same amount of powder as ;
the large one. If it does, and we have
no reason to doubt it—well, Zone j

lars a box, instead of fifty cents.

week ago the thermometer stood at

joyed a couple of days of good old

had better not say; it will be differ-

if you are really suffering, do not

Big 4 Hand Lotion is making a hit
with mechanics and automobile men.
You know how black and ugly they
get from contact with grease and car-
i bon, and how hard it is to get them
clean. Here is a tip, when washing
your hands try mincing about a tea-
spoonful of Big 4 with the lather. The
combination of soap and Big 4 is what
does the work. Also apply Big 4 free-
ly after you have dried them. It will
heal them if they are chapped or!
sore.

r
Sleeve-Valve Motor
The Willys-Knight motor is
the paradox of the entire auto-
mobile industry.
While ordinary types of
motors lose their original effect-
iveness with use—the Willys-
Knight gains in power, flexibility*
and smoothness.
This is not an engineering
theory—but a proved fact.
More than 20,000 owners who
are using Willys-Knight cars
will be glad to tell you so—
and tell you so enthusiastically.
Let us put you in touch with a
few of them.
Carbon, which is responsible
for the undoing of ordinary
motors, is utilized beneficially by
the sleeve-valve W illys-Knight
motor.
While other motors are
periodically incapacitated be-
cause they must have valves
ground and carbon removed,
the Willys-Knight motor im-
proves with use and is sustained
at top efficiency because carbon
is its reconstructing life.
Let us show you the Willys-
Knights—Four and Eight—and
demonstrate them.
