"One of these women has something in common with you.

Each of these women represents many others: You are one of them.

The skin of one of them is normal/oily. The other one's is normal/dry.

All women, generally, fit one of these profiles. So do you.

Therefore Elizabeth Arden created her 'Individual Method for Skin Care' with two variants: 'Normal/Oily' and 'Normal/Dry'.

And the products for each of these two groups' fundamental four points of skin care: cleansing, tonifying, moisturizing and nourishing. The authentic 'Pink Diary of a beautiful woman'. There is also a series of 'Special Treatments' for acne, wrinkles and other skin problems. Whatever your skin type may be.

You may have something more in common with these two women. Follow the 'Method', daily. It's your own 'Pink Diary'.

You will do it for your skin.

Individual Method for Skin Care. Your 'Pink Diary'."

The first reason: This beautiful typewriter produces beautiful results: print work as neat and uniform as a business card.

The second reason: It's a strong, trustworthy typewriter. It's dependability results from new engineering simplification that eliminates 645 parts in type bar linkages alone. Yet, the Royal Electress is a full-sized electric with every feature you want and a few found nowhere else.

All this at $95 less than you'd pay for most comparable electrics. Why not let your office staff meet the Electress in person? Your Royal Representative will be happy to demonstrate its advantages. Just call him. He's in the Yellow Pages.

Handles - Pro-phy-lac-tic comes in Rigid handles (preferred by many), Flexible handles (a comfort to those who have tender gums) and transparent flexible handles (Pro-phy-lac-tic De Luxe, in three colors, which render identification still easier.)

Specials - Pro-phy-lac-tic provides a special four-row (instead of three-row) brush, for adults preferring a larger brush; a Dental Plate brush; and a brush with unbleached bristles (recommended by many dentists).

He started with a Volswagen Station Wagon. Which has about twice the amount of space as an ordinary wagon.

There was room for everything.

A refrigerator, a stove, a table, an instant chili dispenser, and of course, the proverbial kitchen sink.

And a way for it all to get in. The two side doors open into a huge 4' by 4' hole.

Also, its roof may be high compared to other wagons, but its overhead is low. Our Standard VW wagon costs only 2,454.

However, if you're plannin to go into the restaurant business, better not buy one new. (The body's been welded into one solid piece of steel, the tires alone will last for 35,000 miles, and on top of everything else, there are four coats of protective paint.)
