Seller ID: 019711

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Very Good

Illustrated, small octavo, pp 48, paperback, the covers slightly worn.

On the first page "American Catalogue" has been written, though I see nothing else to support this. A fascinating booklet, with much information on the business, and several references from stars such as Yvonne Arnaud, Evelyn Laye and Dorothy Dickson. Loosely inserted is an undated and mimeographed price list of toilet preparations.]. SCARCE.
