In this guide I will introduce you to the perfumes and toiletries presented by the Myron Parker Company of Chicago Illinois.
I was able to cull most of my info from The 1908 Sears & Roebuck catalog. Some of their advertisements read:
"Pure Bay Rum. This is a fine quality of Bay Rum, being manufactured from pure oil of Porto Rico bay, aromatics and pure imported rum. This is one of the very few bay rums made from genuine imported rum. Being a pure article it is very useful for toilet purposes. A refreshing lotion for the skin."
"Lavender Smelling Salts. Refreshing and invigorating. For faintness ,headache, etc. In pretty glass stoppered bottles,a useful and handsome ornament for the dressing table."
"The Famous White Lily Face Wash. The great face, neck and arm whitener. The ladies favorite toilet preparation. Recommended by thousands of beautiful women. Different from most complexion preparations, our White Lily Face Wash contains not a particle of lead, silver, sulphur, arsenic, mercury or other poisonous mineral by which most complexion remedies and particularly the advertised ones, produce a temporary smoothness and brilliancy of the skin. White Lily Face Wash is clear and harmless as water, contains no poison, no sediment, nothing to hurt the most tender and delicate skin. Its effect will aid in removing pimples, blackheads, freckles,roughness and tan in a short time. White Lily Face Wash smoothes out wrinkles and roughness, imperfections and irritations of the skin disappear, restores the delicate tint of girlhood and youth, leaving the skin soft and velvety. Nothing is more attractive than a lovely complexion. Do you want to be beautiful? Do you want a spotless skin, a matchless complexion? Do you want white arms, neck and face? Send for a bottle of White Lily Face Wash. Use it according to directions and give it a fair trial. You will be satisfied with the good results obtained. White Lily Face Wash has a wonderful sale. The market is full of injurious complexion preparations. Many, in fact, most of these preparations contain lead, arsenic, bismuth, or mercury and are really dangerous in their effects. You can protect yourself from serious skin diseases by using our White Lily Face Wash. Take no chances. Avoid all danger. Use only a preparation that is absoluely harmless, one that you can depend on for a spotless skin, a positive beautifier that has been recommended by thousands of ladis.
