Hair And Skin Need Special Summer Care Too much sun, wind and air-conditioning can cause a variety of summer skin disorders. Washing with harsh soaps is also a contributing factor. Many well-known brands are not as gentle to the skin as you might think, dermatologists note. For people with sensitive skin problems, dermatologists frequently recommend specially formulated Purpose Soap. It is gentle enough for daily use; helps replace natural moisture removed by bathing; leaves no residue and is long lasting — an economy plus in these inflationary times. Hair needs extra protection. too, during the sum-' mer months. To prevent drying from sun and water, try Purpose Shampoo, mild enough for daily use. It cleanses thoroughly and gently, helping hair maintain shine and manageability. It is also effective for scalp disorders, and helps prevent dryness, scaling and cracking, frequently associated with daily use of harsh shampoos in summer. The Pullman was the first successful railroad sleeping car. George M. Pullman built the first one at Bloomington, Illinois in 1859. "Ridicule is the test of truth." William Hazlitt
