“King of Them All” and the most unique business proposition that the man who shaves himself has ever faced. One of the many reasons for its success is because it has thoroughly, convincingly, and scientifically solved the shaving problem and is fast eradicating the barber habit with its expense and discomfort. The Gillette Safety Razor is different mechanically from any razor made, and is technically superior, as hundreds of thousands of Gillette shavers will gladly attest. Let the Gillette theory convince you as it has others. No matter how tender your face or how wiry your beard, the Gillette Safety Razor will give a clean, even, and velvety shave without fear of cutting or irritating the skin. The Gillette Safety Razor costs complete $5.00. Sold everywhere at this price —is beautifully finished, triple silver plated, comes in a compact little velvet-lined case. Each Gillette set consists of 12 double-edged wafer blades. These blades are hardened, tempered, ground, and sharpened by a secret and patented process and NEVER REQUIRE HONING OR STROPPING Think of always having a blade in perfect order. Think of the time, money, and labor you save because the Gillette blade is different from other blades and each will shave from 20 to 40 times. With 12 blades at your disposal you will have: Over 400 shaves at less than one cent a shave after which you can purchase 12 new blades for $1.00. Ask your dealer for the Gillette Safety Razor and accept no substitutes. He can procure it for you. Write for our interesting booklet to-day, which explains our 30-day free trial offer. Most dealers make this offer; if yours does not, we will. GILLETTE SALES COMPANY 1140 TIMES BUILDING, 42d STREET AND BROADWAY, NEW YORK |

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
