Picture-Play Magazine (Mar-Aug 1926)

Advertising Section MISS ANDERSON'S STATEMENT When 1 arrived at the Kaufmann & Fabry Studio, my hair was straight as you may see in the picture at' the left. I had very little faith in any of the so-called hair-wavers and expected I would have to visit my hairdresser before keeping my other posing appointments in the afternoon. To my delight, as you will see from the center photograph it was not necessary. My hair was perfectly waved. I have proved to my own satisfaction that Maison Marcellers will save time, money and the bother of waiting to have one's hair marcelled. They can be worn any time, which means that you may be doing useful work while the hair is being waved. (Signed) Miss Evelyn Anderson. KAUFMANN &. FABRY CO. Commercial Photographers, CHICAGO Maison de Beaute, Chicago, Illinois. I, Edward .1. Cook, hereby certify that these are actual photographs taken by me while Miss Evelyn Anderson's hair was marcelled with Marvelous Marcellers. The one at the left shows Miss Anderson's hair as she entered my studio. That at the right shows the Marvelous Marcellers in place. The center photograph shows Miss Anderson's hair as it appeared 30 minutes later. (Signed) Edward J. Cook. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 24th day of March, 1926. Emma W. Stolzenbach, Notary Public. Notice to Readers A Chicago representative of this magazine and representatives of over 100 other publishers witnessed a similar demonstration of marcelling. Marvelous New Method makes any hair naturally curly in 30 minutes No more "appointments" . . . No more tiresome treatments . . . No more "wave" expense . . . No hot irons to dry out your hair Now you may have as lovely a marcel as the finest beauty parlor possibly can give— in your own home — when you want it, and at a trifling cost. WHERE is the woman, in this busy day, who can afford from her little leisure all the time it takes to make appointments, arrange her convenience to suit someone else's schedule, go through the usual experience of waiting many minutes, and then submit to a long drawn-out process ? Women will do that, to have their hair marcelled, so insistent is the real need for loveliness. But that exasperating method is no longer necessary. It is rapidly becoming obsolete — wherever this amazing new invention called the Marvelous Marcellers makes its way. Just 30 minutes with the Marvelous Marcellers, once a week — in your own home — and your hair is always at its wavy loveliest and best. A $1.50 marcel any time for a few cents Moreover, how many women really can spare the money, $1.00, $1.50 or more, for waving done the ordinary way? Isn't it a fact that even on a liberal allowance, these inroads are too heavy, with the usual result that you forego many a marcel that you know you ought to have? Here again, the Marvelous Marcellers are literally one of the greatest boons ever conferred on womankind. The woman who owns a set of Marvelous Marcellers may keep her hair at all times in the full glory of its beauty, at a cost of a few cents for each complete marcel. And the menace of hot irons eliminated forever F lly, this invention is the most protective oi Jair quality, texture and lustre ever in Before putting this Marcelling Outfit on the market, we asked fifty women to try it out and give us their opinion. Without exception, they were most enthusiastic about it. Here are part of some of the letters we received. Miss M. S., Chicago: I recently had a permanent wave put in my hair and since then have had lots of trouble making my hair look right. But with your Marvelous Marcellers I no longer have to bother with water combs and now my hair is always beautifully marcelled. Miss K. W., Chicago: I have had my hair marcelled so much that it was beginning to get terribly dry and scraggly. Since I have quit applying heat to my hair, it is quickly regaining its old lustre and beauty. I think your marcelling outfit is wonderful. Mrs. A. K., Memphis: I am cursed with thin, straight hair that is unusually hard to wave. I have tried many home marcelling outfits, but have always been disappointed until your Marvelous Marcellers came. Now I can easily keep my hair in a dandy marcel, just the way I want it. I can't say too much for your new invention. troduced into modern hair Culture. It does away with the oldfashioned curlers and socalled "w avers" — with dangerous curling irons that sear the hair and dry the scalp — with all the muss and fuss of the old-fashioned water-waving combs. In eliminating the hot iron peril alone, the Marvelous Marcellers are worth their weight in gold to any woman who prizes the natural health and beauty of her hair. Your mirror will tell you this is true Nothing that we could say f about the results which thousands of women today are obtaining with the Marvelous Marcellers would tell so complete a story of their value as the photographs above. Note them well. Then read carefully the sworn affidavit of one of Chicago's most reputable photographers, as to the circumstances under which those photographs were taken. They could be duplicated anywhere — and are being duplicated everywhere the Marvelous Marcellers are in use. Marvelous Marcellers will give you any kind of marcel you want — shingle bob, Ina Claire, horseshoe wave or pompadour, center or side part. They will do this whether your hair is soft and fluffy, coarse and straight, long or short. Regardless of the kind of hair you have, they will give you the most beautiful marcel imaginable.
