Company sold to Helene Curtis in 1956

Based on new citations including the first episode of What's My Line? from 1956 with new sponsor Helene Curtis after it bought the maker of Stopette, I corrected the article to mention that the company was sold in 1956. You can see the first Helene Curtis sponsored episode of What's My Line? at [1]. Steelbeard1 (talk) 20:34, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Jules Montenier/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I am not an expert in this subject, but:

Most of this article talks about What's My Line and the subject's sponsorship of same. In episode #305 of that show, originally aired on April 8, 1956, the sponsor had changed from "Stopette" to "Helene Curtis," makers of Stopette, Finesse, and other cosmetic products.

I mention this because the article says Jules Montenier Inc. was sold to Helene Curtis in 1958, but this sponsorship notice seems to show that it happened two years earlier, by April 1956. (I saw this during GSN's airing of the kinescope on September 8, 2008, at 3AM EDT.)

Any suggestions?

Claims without links

The article presently reads "then as now, the best-working anti-perspirant known to chemistry".

I suggest to either remove this part; or to add credit to this claim (e. g. a link or something like that).

For example, there is no way for me to verify that this would be true - I can see no links. But I am also doubtful of the general claim, even more so as other studies have shown health-related problems in regards to metals applied to skin in general. I think we can agree that any chemical used as an anti-perspirant is not a good one if health-related problems persist.

What is even more important, I do not think this should actually be any part of a biography. Why does the wikipedia article have to promote it? It should more than suffice to simply mention what he did, rather than to PROMOTE what he did. 2A02:8388:1604:CA80:F462:6A60:DEA:83A0 (talk) 11:36, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
