PAPER COMBS AFFORD PUBLIC SANITARY UTENSIL (Jan, 1924)

The beginning of disposable culture?

PAPER COMBS AFFORD PUBLIC SANITARY UTENSIL

For public places, such as hotels and barber shops, a paper comb has been offered, giving every patron a clean, sanitary article, which, when used once, may be thrown away. Since it is specially treated with a waxlike composition, it slips through the hair as easily as a comb of rubber or bone, and if it is cleaned it will not break easily. Tightly sealed in an “individual” package, it is protected from dirt until needed.
