Beautician (1884–1966) who developed the highly successful cosmetic line that bears her name. TLS, one page, 8.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 23, 1931. Letter to a customer. In part: “As you see your skin becoming clear and bright and firm under the deft touch of your own fingers, you will be as delighted with this new skill as I am to impart it to you. Do be sure to cleanse…cleanse…cleanse…for so few women realize that a clean, softly-receptive skin is the beginning of all beauty. The dust-laden air is your enemy. Combat it…with generous quantities of Cleansing Cream and with cool pattings of Ardena Skin tonic applied with firm upward movements.” In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds, and light scattered creases. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. RR Auction COA.
