VIVAUDOU .
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.
In 1914, at the beginning of the war, Monsieur Vivaudou set up an
immense establishment in America and put all the secrets of French
parfumeurs into the distinctive fragrances called "Vivaudou." 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.
Some are arranged in gift sets, including extract, toilet water,
talcum, rouge or face powder in various assortments.
Sweet Vivaudou Gift-Fragrances

Nine Interesting Stories
Just Off the Press
This is going to be a Christmas
of new books. There are literally
scores and scores of new novels.
And there is nothing quite like the
joy of a book !

tricia Brent. Spinster." A romance with a
silver lining, a love story which takes one
away from prosaic life and keeps one in

IMkk1," by KlPanor Oates. A fantastic
parable in which human life is judged
through the clear, natural eyes of a. little
pig. This is a typewritten hook, one of
the first we have seen: possibly it will be
historical sometime for that very fact.
