THE GREATEST PRIDE OF NATURE is the hair, the hair, and nothing but the hair.

Messrs. Vautier Boucher, Hair Dressers from Paris, take the present opportunity of informing the public that they have opened their new Saloon, No. 150 Kearny street, between Sacramento and Commercial streets, which for comfort and elegance cannot be surpassed in the city.

The Ladies are particularly invited to give us a trial in order that their entire patronage may be secured us at our various establishment over the world, the principal of which are doubtless known to many:

10 Rue de Rivoli, Paris
217 Regent street, Longon
and Mr. Vautier�s establishment, Valparaiso We respectfully call the public�s attention to our stock of artificial hair, and to the manner in which we are prepared to manufacture the same, and we are fully convinced that our work in this particular branch of our business cannot probably be equalled in California, or surpassed even in Paris, where our long practice alone procured us the very best of patronage.

Our well assorted stock of perfumery and general articles necessary to the toilette will be found equal to any of our above named establishments, together with every description of French and English brushes and combs, fine cutlery, toilette glasses, neck handkerchiefs, and scarfs, fine shirts, gloves, &c., &c., &c.

Private Saloons for Ladies.

Messrs. Vautier & Baucher's Warranted, Indelible Hair Dye, without injury to health, will also be administered I separate saloons.
