THE NEW NAUGAHYDE RAZOR STROP. 



X TOVELTIES in ni1)bcr designed to supple- 

 1\| ment, if not replace leather, are constant- 

 ly developing these days when the price 

 of leather is high and still advancing. 



The difficulty of making a complete replace- 

 ment of leather is a handicap seldom overcome, 

 but in the case of the Naugahyde Razor Strop, 

 developed during the past year, this problem 

 seems to have been successfully met. 



It has been developed and tested by the latest 

 scientific methods, with most excellent results. 



Its composition is such it will put a keen 

 edge on the finest quality of razor with very 

 limited stropping, only a few strokes being 

 necessary to obtain the desired tdge. 



The abrasive material in the strop is so com- 

 bined that it sharpens the razor quickly, and at 

 the same time prevents the edge from wearing 

 down and becoming round. It is seldom 

 necessary to hone a razor sharpened on this 



I lie strops are made in two styles and sizes, 

 with either nickel or gun metal swivels. They 

 nia> be had in double strops with the sharpen- 

 ing and finish sides separated, or in single 

 strops with the two sides combined.

RINGMETER GARDEN HOSE. 



The continuous-length hose shown in the accompanying illus- 

 tration is self-measuring, owing to the flat rings of rubber 

 which are placed upon it exactly one foot apart. This is a great 

 convenience, as it is only necessary to count one foot for every 

 ring as the hose is unwound. This hose is of the molded type 

 and consists of a seamless tube covered with plies of braided 



three bearing points. They are vulcanized into the hard rubber 

 seat, and therefore cannot become loose. [The Vulcalose Co.,

VULCALOSE SANITARY RUBBER TOILET SEAT. 



The advantages of a one-piece toilet seat over the old style 

 wooden seat are self-evident. Disease germs can find no lodg- 

 ing place; there are no seams or joints to open up, and it will not 



warp, crack nor split. % V

 qualities being of decided 

 advantage in sorting

 and in general office

 demand by fruit packers. 

 They are intended to be 

 worn on the thumb, as 

 well as on the forefinger, 

 and are supplied in as-

of value is the arrangement of round openings for ventilation, 

 making long continued wear of tliese protective coverings pos- 

 sible with a greater degree of comfort than unvontilated ones.

CHIN MASK ASO \ ROWN BAND. 



The purpose of rubber chin masks is well known : When 

 worn during the hours of sleep, they hold the relaxed muscles 

 in place and prevent the sagging which forms the unsightly 

 double chin. h. special advantage 

 of the mask here illustrated lies 

 in the fact that it extends further 

 lip on the face than is customary, 

 covering the upper lip ami acting 

 as a remover of the nose-to- 

 mouth lines. It also extends down 

 lower than some other chin 

 masks, tending to whiten the skin 

 of the throat and remove the dis- 

 colorations caused by high collarf. 

 This mask is fastened by means 

 of tapes, which can be adjusted, 

 if closer tension is desired, by 

 slipping the hook and eye down 

 thus shortening the lower tapes. 

 .\ rubber frown band is also shown, the use of which prevents 

 the frnwn and lines in the forehead. [Miss Lillian HeiuUr.
