CHICAGO PHILADELPHIA YOUNGSTOWN LOS ANGELES MONTREAL RIO DE JANEIRO ΛX7ΉEN golf came into this country whiskers went ^* out. This juxtaposition of circumstances was most fortunate. Any golfer will understand how seriously he would have been handicapped in playing over a course that was haunted by such an exponent of the game as the human chrysanthemum portrayed above. Driving into his whiskers would have been as dis- astrous as slicing into a haystack. But the disadvantage would not all have been on the side of the player whose ball had gone into the rushes. Playing from the lie might have brought serious dis- comfort to the bearded brother from Beaver Falls. The divot could, perhaps, have been replaced by a surgeon, and damages to the bewhiskered player's wind- pipe might have been repaired, but the interruptions attending such incidents would have spoiled an afternoon. Nowadays the golfer who adds a bushy beard to the rest of the hazards is likely to inspire remarks that will disturb him in crucial moments. Colgate's Rapid-Shave Cream takes wear and tear out of shaving. It softens the beard at the base—where the razor's work is done. A prominent man (name given on request) writes us: "I find your Rapid-Shave Cream the most satisfactory and most inexpensive I have ever used.
