PRICL lO CENTS BY THE YEAR. $199 MAGAZINE Funny Side JAN U A RY Favorite There is one thing thai is always fashion's first favorite, j ft and that is beauty. Style of dress, of coiffure, of head- gear, and so on, may change with every month or season, as whim, fancy, or milliners' decree may dictate, but beauty of skin and complexion is of the fash- ions that remain permanent from age to age. This explains the fact of the enduring popularity of Pears' Soap which, being all pure soap, possessing unique emollient properties, that preserve, refine, and improve the beauty of the skin and complexion, never ceases to be the leading soap wherever beauty holds her enchanting sway. DELICACY—The delicacy and dainti- ness of the skin of youth are pre- served by the daily use of PEARS. REFINEMENT—The skin is refined, softened, anil beautified by the exquisite soothing influence of PEARS. It is far more economical to use r ^9 PEARS than it is to use ordinary toilet soaps.
