Perfumes and Other Toiletries Created by a French Chemist in America Fascinating Packages Reasonably Priced French perfumes have always been famous. - They date back hundreds of years. French parfumeurs early learned the recipes of extraordinarily sweet combinations of flowers. Some of their lore came to them from Persia and the far east.

These fragrances are so delightfully original that they have already made a tremendous success in New York and other large cities in America. From the very beginning the MEIER & FRANK toilet goods store featured these perfumes and toiletries because of their particularly fine quality at the prices.
