Omaha Is Ideal
for Conventions
Lions Head Praises City as
Plare for National
Meetings.
There Is no better convention city
in the country than Omaha, is the
assertion of John S. Noel of Grand
Rapids, Mich., international president
of the Lions club, who is spending
Monday here.
President Noel is in conference to
day with Dean Ringer, president of
the Omaha Lions club; Frank Builta
and Frank Myers, making arrange
ments for the International conven
tion of the club, which meets here
In June.
"Omaha is not a 'professional'
convention city like Atlantic City,
Chicago or New York," said Presi
dent Noel. "For that reason the city
takes notice when It has a conven
tion and offers hospitality. Some
cities never know you are their
guests. The Lions club has chosen
Omaha for Its convention because it
is centrally located and the growth
of the Lions club has been through
the middlewest.”
Special trains will arrive from the
west, south and north with Lions
club members in June. Wood from
each state in the union and from
Canada is being sent to Omaha from
which a gavel six feet long will be
made for President Noel.
Lions club of Omaha held a special
meeting Monday evening at the
Brandeis grill at fi:15, in honor of
the international president.

Best Place to Shop, After All”
Note, Madam
No mere "olive oil’’ soap has ever done
what Palmolive Soap is doing
This is published in your interest, for the good of all concerned
To protect beauty lovers frorh some grave mistakes.
Palmolive Soap signifies far more than a soap with cosmetic oils.
Palm and olive oils have been used for ages. But they scarcely
began to bring such complexion results as women get from
Palmolive Soap.
Palmolive is a unique creation, based on 60 years of soap study.
Its results are due to modem science, seeking ways to beauty,above all
It costs only 10 cents. But that is due to enormous production.
Palmolive is now the leading toilet soap of the world. The only two
soaps that compare with it cost 25 cents a cake.
Millions now employ Palmolive because of what it does for com
plexions. It is made in five countries, to supply the world-wide
demand. It is made in France—the home of fine cosmetics—because
French women prize it above other soaps made there.
Skins soft and velvety, rosy and smooth, are very common now.
But that is not due to mere olive oil, nor to palm oil. They have
been used for ages without bringing Palmolive effects. These new
results are due to modem science—to methods never before em
ployed. Don’t, for your own sake, expect crude methods to bring
you like results.
There are now many “olive oil” soaps. Some are very crude soaps,
with artificial color—based largely on animal fats. If you seek mere
cleansers, they will cleanse. But if you wish to keep a schoolgirl
complexion, you want the soap which does that Let no one sub
stitute for Palmolive an ordinary “olive oil” soap.
