Why Brushing is Life to the Hair 



"X"TATURE feeds your hair with an oil. This natural oil is the hair's 

 _LN life giving fluid. It flows throughout the entire length of the 

 hair. When the nourishment has been extracted the oil is forced to 

 the outside of the hair by a fresh supply. 



Then it becomes waste. It oxidizes or thickens upon contact with the 

 air. Dust collects on it. This coating envelops the hair from root to 

 tip and clogs up the thousands of little outlets. 



This stops the necessary flow. The hair is no longer nourished prop- 

 erly. The two little glands (sebaceous glands) at the root of the hair 

 are still producing the oil. The natural channels being blocked, this 

 oil is forced up besides the root. It flows out on the scalp and oxidizes, 

 laying a foundation for dandruff and other troubles. 



Brushing the hair frequently and vigorously with a properly con- 

 structed hair brush will do it more good than all the doubtful nostrums 

 ever invented. It removes the impurities in a natural,harmless way. 



Howard Brushes are scientifically constructed. Their stiff, penetrating 

 bristles reach through and brush each layer of hair with every stroke. 

 This keeps it clean and gives nature a chance. A Howard Brush will 

 not grow hair on a bald head, but it will enhance the beauty of the 

 naturally thick hair and encourage a luxuriant growth in cases where 

 thinness is due to neglect,
