Radio stars (Dec 1938)

RADIO STARS WHY WAS CLEOPATRA Authorities apparently agree that kissing, on the lips, as a sign of affection, did not begin until after Cleopatra's time. She died in 30 B.C. and the custom seems to have been established well after her day. Cleopatra had one other misfortune, too. She used skin lotions, but did not have the famous Skin Softener — Italian Balm. Her lotions were mixed, undoubtedly, with "a little of this and too much of that" — but today, no guesswork is permitted in making Italian Balm for milady's skin. Here is a scientifically made skin-softening beauty aid that will help to keep your skin smoother and softer— fresher-feeling, more kissable and thrilling to the touch. In Italian Balm you get not only a skin protection against chapping and skin dryness. You get also the costliest ingredients used in any of the largest selling lotions— yet the cost to use Italian Balm is negligible because it is rich, full-bodied and concentrated; not thin or watery.
