The razor is made in two pieces instead of three, as formerly, thus making it easier and quicker to clean, assembla and use. The blades are made by the new electrical-tempering process They give not only closer, cleaner shaves then you have ever had before, but also more shavas per blade.
The case is ideal for hot and humid climates ài ở is so every ko kaop clean.

OVALTINE
"Hooray! Ovaltine Rusks”
From teething time onwards, 'Ovaltine' Rusks are a great favourite with babies. Delicious, crisp and crunchy, they give the natural biting exercise which helps so much to bring the teeth easily and comfortably through the gums.
During childhood they keep the teeth sound and firm and ensure the correct forma- tion of the mouth. Made from the purest unbleached wheaten flour, 'Ovaltine' Rusks contain the necessary vitamins and other valuable health-giving properties.
