Many who look after their teeth constantly fail in the selec tion of a proper brush. A brush to cleanse perfectly must have gen uine bristles, just stiff enough, long enough an so trimmed as to reach every nook and cranny. We pride ourselves on our line of toot b brushes. They are honest, prac tical ones. We look out for the little ^points that mean much in tooth saving.
