description- – You Know a Good Brush When You See It Knowing what work you expect of a brush, you are able to judge by examination whether or not it will do that work. Pro-phy-lac-tic Brushes are designed to do thoroughly the work for which they are to be used. They will stand the test of examination and will tell their own story if you will look at them. The Pro-phy-lac-tic Pen-e-tra-tor Hair Brush will brush through the hair. That?s what you want. You want to feel it on your scalp. It brushes all the hair instead of going over the top. Look at the stiff, springy, widely separated bristles and you will see that this is so. The Pro-phy-lac-tic Hand Brush is made to scrub and scrub and scrub for years. Its sturdy construction, its metal bristle bed, and its thickly set bristles stand the wear and the hard usage you expect. See these brushes at any store where brushes are sold. All Pro-phy-lac-tic brushes are sold in the sanitary yellow boxes. If you buy one that disappoints you in any way, let us know and we will replace it.Send for the free illustrated booklet, ?Ideas About Hair Dressing.?/ FLORENCE MANUFACTURING CO., Florence, Mass./ makers of Pro-phy-lac-tic Tooth Brushes/ Canadian Agency: 247 St. Paul Street West, Montreal Pro-phy-lac-tic Brushes
- – An Advertisement for Pro-phy-lac-tic Brushes made by the Florence Manufacturing Company in Florence, Massachusetts. The advertisement is for the Pro-phy-lac-tic Pen-e-tra-tor Hair Brush and the Pro-phy-lac-tic Hand Brush. The Florence Manufacturing Co. was one of the first companies to experiment with plastics, making plastic casings of a fiber called the Florence Compound. Early on they made buttons, revolver casings and daguerreotype cases. Their most successful product was the Pro-phy-lac-tic toothbrush, and in 1924 they changed their name to the Pro-phy-lac-tic Brush Company to reflect this success.
