SEND MONEY BY POST OFFICE MONEY ORDER. Ladies you need this. EVERY lady can have a beautiful and luxuriant head of hair, if she uses this toilet necessity. After a shampoo or bath, the Magic dries the hair, removing the dandruff; and it will straighten the curliest head of hair, giving it a natural fluffy appearance. Remember that the Magic never burns or injures the hair, because the comb is never heated direct. The steel heating bar alone is put into the flame of the heater, as shown below. DO not mistake this elegant toilet necessity for some of the cheaply made limitations. It is entirely different, as you will see by the pictures. The aluminum comb is easily detached from the steel bar; then after the bar is heated (as shown below) the comb goes back in place, the handle is turned and the Magic is ready for use. The Magic Heater is also suitable for heating the curling iron, has cover and can be carried in hand bag. Agents wanted in every town, but do not nautil, send for it today.
