A great deal of thought goes into the production of a comb for the smart woman’s dressing table or handbag today. The Aberdeen Combworks Co. Ltd., Hutcheon Street, Aberdeen, have recently brought out two very interesting new designs. One is their “Nu Lustre” perfume comb which discreetly perfumes the hair as it combs it. It is very simple to operate. The end of the comb is removed and an absorbent pad inside soaked with perfume and then replaced. Both the pad and the comb itself are easily washed.

The second innovation is a comb with a handle which forms a sheath. It is undoubtedly a useful article, as the comb folding into the handle prevents any dust or powder which might be lying in the lady’s handbag to collect between the teeth.

The Aberdeen Combworks Co. Ltd. have been established over 140 years, and have a large export trade extending from the Fiji Islands to Iceland, including Pakistan, Malaya, Singapore, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Libya. Africa, British West Indies and Canada. All these regions have their own particular preference in the type of comb and the material from which it is made and the firm is careful to respect these individual requirements.
