Let The Gillette Prove Itself

Gold Medal Award St. Louis Fair, 1904

Shave with it every day for a month. Then if it hasn’t proved our claims for it, Return the Razor.

Money Back and Welcome

That’s the spirit of our guarantee, and the practice of it. We could not send the Gillette on 80 Days Trial if it did not make good—satisfy the most particular man (and a man has a right to be particular about his shaving). The Gillette is not only a safety, but it’s a razor, too. In fact, it is

24 Razors in One

It has twelve keen, double-edged. blades as thin as paper, tempered / and glass hardened by our process so that it takes diamond dust to grind them. Each blade gives ten to thirty perfect shaves. Blades sterilized, packed and sealed direct from factory. Always ready to use—

No Stropping or Honing

It takes but a moment to insert a new blade. You cannot cut yourself or fail to give yourself a smooth, delightful shave. Think of the waits you save, the cleanly delight of home shaving—and the economy of it. A Gillette lasts for years. When you have used each of the edges until dull, return to us and we will give you six new blades at no cost to you. Additional blades at nominal cost.

Ask your dealer; if he doesn’t sell it, get him to correspond with us. Interesting booklet mailed free.

[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.
