to users of the new Gillette the Big Fellow

YOU big-handed men had been waiting a long time for the shave that you set with the Big Fellow.

You had your own ideas about the feel of a razor—in your hand and on your beard.

You recognized, the instant you picked up the Big Fellow, what the poise of the long heavy handle, the nice balance of the broad, sturdy head, were going to do for your shaving comfort. Especially when you saw that the Big Fellow was Gillette all the way through—even to the standard size Gillette Blade that you - Just insert and shave.

As one of the first to want the Big Fellow, it must indeed be gratifying to you the way it is confirming your judgment, shave after shave.

And to learn that although scarcely three months old it is selling at such a rate that we are already hard pressed for enough Big Fellows to go around.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.

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.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
