TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY
An especially fine shampoo for this
weather can be easily made at trifling
expense by slmpiy dissolving a teaspoon -ful
of canthrox in a cup of hot water.
Pour slowly on scalp and massac brisk
ly. This creates a soothing, cooling
lather that dissolves and remove all
dandruff, excess oil and dirt. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and pliant, while the hair takes en a
glossy richness of natural color, also a
flufflness which mekea it seem very much
heavier than It Is. After a canthrox

Tins been the keynote of Dort design. Not one extra ounce of weight haa
been employed in.jts production not an added unnecessary part to be
paid for, carried and not used; not one cent haa been spent for vanity
or false pride of possession. The resulfj, we believe, is the most per
fectly balanced motor car on the market. . ,
AVhcn designing the Dort Car, the dimensions and sizes of each part
were studied with great care, the main purpose being to get just enough
weight to givp strength, with ample provision for a reasonable margin
of safety. Each working part of this remarkable car is available for
easy adjustment if necessary.
Kvery owner of a Dort realizes to the last cent on his investment in
motor car servicepaying only for those dollars of value that will
work for him. His pride of possession is based on his knowledge of
performance rather than vanity of appearance. Thus he i9 insured a
lasting satisfaction and a permanent return day by day on his invest
ment. . .
The weight is so distributed that the DORT "holds the road V at all
speeds. Something that you seldom find in a car of the so-called light
class. Ask for demonstration.
On account of a factory increase in production to 1,000 cars per month
immediate deliveries can now be made. See the DORT before you buy
a car.
