Then. too. the fact that the O.T.A. was more firmly and thoroughly enforced in this county must have had w,mettttng to deo with the result.

ACHESON & SON "I Had Bilious Attacks and Stomach Weakness" %irs. Wm. laMwsse. Yen - ker.

My stomach would be so weak that not even a drink of water would stay on it. On my siater'a advice.

THAT'S what many men confess, • once they've learned the advantages of the stropping feature of the Valet AutoStrop Razor. a'I formerly used an ordinary safety razor," many say "but only the first few shaves with a new blade were good. After that it was a choice between a poor shave or a new blade. Now I give my Valet AutoStrop Razor blade a few strokes on the4trcp without removing it from the holder, and thus enjoy many perfect shaves from the same blade." Changing Habits If you're in a habit rut, why not break loose and find out how superior shaving is so easily attain- able? If you'll just switch to a Valet AutoStrop Razor you will never return to old ways, for it is the only razor that automatically sharpens its own blades without removing them.
