Researched by one of our own members, Benson S. Case and distributed by the Halton District Women's Institute. We hope to arrange for this publication to be for sale at the next meeting. SOME HISTORY - taken from the Daily Globe, Toronto January 14, 1871. The experience of a young lady who recently went shopping among the hair dealers proves that the kind of hair known as "blonde hair" is worth more than its weight in gold. The precious metal can be bought for $17 the ounce, but the vendors of the capillary ornaments demand $25 for one once of "blonde hair". We remember when nothing but black and brown hair commanded a premium price. Mark you calendar Feb. 16th. 8 P.M.
