HAIR, WHERE THE HAIR
I
OUGHT TO GROW
It is very seldom that a news
paper will comment in any stage of
optomism over a product or business
to the extent of "free publicity.”
Circumstances
have,
at
times,
swayed the decision from strict
ethics, and this week we feel we
are justified in mentioning as a
news item, the fact that a Vernonia
man seems on the verge of putting
“Vernonia” before the eyes of the
World. Now you have read of all
kinds of ‘‘Hair Restorers;’’ you have
seen pictures of bald heads “before
and after taking,” but at last
through countless ages of attempts,
trials and only partial success, it now
seems that Mr. Soden, of Vernonia,
can stand on the top step and shout
“Eureka.” After thorough experi
ments, the remedy and treatment
will and does actually grow hair on
bald heads. We know it; we have
seen it proven, and Vernonia peo
ple, once bald, can truthfully testify
to the merits and the guaranteed re
sults. Mr. Soden has refused to sell
a bottle of the mixture at any price.
He guards it better than he does his
pocket book. His first satisfaction
will be the knowledge of all people
that he gets the results sure and ab
solute and that his is the only sure
hair grower known to him. No bald
head too bald. Seeing is believing
and there are people who have seen.
Mr. Soden says: “No hair, no mon
ey, and the hair first." But he is
not yet ready to put the article on
the market. If some enterprising
Vernonia man will now invent a pro
cess to grow teeth, we will doll up
for the Rose Festival.
