"Hand Sapolio
For Toilet and Bath

The first step away from self-respect is lack of care in personal cleanliness; the first move in building up a proper pride in man, woman, or child, is a visit to the Bathtub. You can't be healthy, or pretty, or even good, unless you are clean.

Equals a Mild Turkish Bath"

"The Edison Phonograph

Is equally delightful in entertaining a crowd of friends or in helping you pass a few hours by yourself. It renders a plaintive ballad or a lively waltz, a comic song or a rousing march, an instrumental solo or a funny story with a clearness and fidelity that is remarkable and almost beyond belief. Put it to the test. Go to the nearest Edison store and hear the new Edison model with the big horn. Let the dealer play for you some of the new Records for March, which include seven records by Harry Lauder. Out February 25th.

Ask your dealer or write to us for the new catalogue of Edison Phonographs; The Phongram, describing each Record in detail; the supplemental Catalogue, listing the new March Records, and the Complete Catalogue, listing all Edison Records now in existence.

Records in all foreign languages."

Style GM

This comfortable and dressy Oxford is made of Sorosis kid with front and lip of patent leather. Its heel is 1 1/2 inches high.

Sorosis Safe Shoes are so fashioned that they cannot injure the feet that wear them. Some shoes are really dangerous because they do not conform to natural lines of normal feet but do conform to eccentric lines and oddities of shape that happen to be considered highly fashionable.

The Sorosis Shoe Establishment produces many millions of the most intelligently made Safe Shoes and it also produces the most distinctly fashionable shoes that are in the market."
