Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 December 1890 — The Cost of Cosmetics. [ARTICLE]

The Cost of Cosmetics.

An examination of statistics furnished by the Chicago Board of Pharmacy shows that American women spend 562,000,000 a year for cosmetics, most of which are made of zinc, oxide, calomel, and other poisons. This leads us to ask this pertinent question. “How can women, vain enough to paint and dye their hair, bring forth children stalwart enough to resist temptations that lead to all manner of vice, including drunkenness?” All goods in my line can be had kqrcash from this date to the Ist. of January 1891, regardless of cost. We are bound to sell though atagreat sacrifice. Call and be convinced. R. Fendig. For a nice cheap doll call at Fendig & Go’s drugstore.
