Pro-phy-lac-tic Brushes, 1920
Click image for 642 x 871 size. Scanned from Taschen's "All-American Ads of the 20s".
"Well-kept hands
The Pro-phy-lac-tic Hand Brush No. 400 readily disposes of all dirt, grime or stains on the hands and under the nails because its bristles are the finest quality obtainable. Yet the bristles are too good to be harsh - they won't scratch the tenderest skin. And they won't come out, because they are set in aluminum and riveted to a chemically-treated hardwood back. This brush will give you complete service for years to come. Always sold in the Yellow Box - buy yours that way.
Well-kept teeth
The Pro-phy-lac-tic Tooth Brush is the efficient symbol of real tooth-cleanness. It doesn't merely brush the front surfaces of the front teeth. The tufted bristles can reach any place in the mouth where a food particle can lodge. The curved handle fits the curved shape of the jaw, so it gets to every angle and crevice of the back teeth. Carried in child's, youth's, and adult's sizes. Always sold in the Yellow Box. Buy yours that way. Look for name Pro-phy-lac-tic Hand Brush on the handle.
Florence Manufacturing Company, Florence, Mass."

Click image for 668 x 876 size. Scanned from Taschen's "All-American Ads of the 20s".
"Lysol Disinfectant
Kills germs in dark corners
Closets, shelves, corners, and all dark, out-of-the-way nooks in the house are favorite breeding spots for disease germs.
To avoid contagious sickness, clean all such places with water that contains a little Lysol Disinfectant - once a week.
Lysol Disinfectant, having five times the germ-killing strength of carbolic acid, eliminates germ life that you cannot see. Being soapy in substance, it also removes the dust and dirt that you can see.
A 50c bottle makes 5 gallons of germ-killing solution. A 25c bottle makes 2 gallons.
Lysol Disinfectant is also invaluable for personal hygiene.
