Mr. A. Aubrey smokes BUT HE ALWAYS HAS WHITE TEETH
Mr. Aubrey writes:
You might be interested to know that I am a regular and satisfied user of MACLEANS Peroxide Tooth Paste. As you will see from the accom- panying photograph, my teeth are as white and healthy as any man could wish, although I smoke a good deal.”
Many users of Macleans who write to us make a particular point of the healthiness of their mouths and the whiteness of their teeth: Such letters are being received from all parts of the country, and emphasise the importance of using the genuine all-British Macleans Peroxide Tooth Paste.
