"Pink is For Girls
That's why girls like Lustre-Creme. It's the only pink shampoo.
Pink says we're rich, so rich your whole head becomes one great swirl of whipped-cream lather.
Pink says we leave hair soft, and inviting to touch.
And should a certain someone get too close, he'll notice that we have a delightful 'pink' fragrance, too.
Pink, creamy Lustre-Creme. It's the one shampoo made just for girls. Because pink is just for girls.
You're a girl, aren't you?
You might be tickled pink to know that Lustre-Creme is safe for color-treated hair."

Prepared Not Self-Rising
The cost of the flour used in one cake is a very small part of the total expense, and yet these few cents' worth of flour have more to do with the success of the cake than all the other ingredients.
Thrifty housewives realize the food economy of good home-made cake, You will, too, once you bake cake with Swans Down Cake Flour, using smaller quantities of butter, eggs, sugar and milk than you have been accustumed.
A one-cake size package and 'Cake Secrets' - our valuable (?) of choice recipes - sent for five two-cent stamps. If the best fancy grocer in your locality does not sell Swans Down Cake Flour, write us now, giving your grocer's name.
