G. E. OUSLEY, Prop. baw 3 —_ ‘-y Seldom is an advertised prepara- tion underestimated, yet srrange as it may seem there is at least one rem- edy that we know of whicn Is hardly given the credit due it. This prepara- tion is Ford's Hair Pomade, a prepa- ration that has been on the market for over fifty years and during that time, has, without a doubt, been the means of helping the co:ored people more than any other remedy in this line, Ford's Hair Pomade, manufactured by the Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., of Chicago, Ill, is a preparaticn that will make the hair softer and more pliable, easy to comb and put up in any style that the length will permit. No lady can afford to be without it, No one need be afraid ty buy this old time tried remedy for short and curly hair, for, as we said, we honestly believe that it will do even more than the manufacturers claim of it and if ever there was a remedy that is un- derestimated, Ford's Hair Pomade is the remedy. A good fault we will ad- mit, and it affords the Forum pleasure in saying these few words in behalf of a good thing for his people. Try it.
