THE discipline of the United States Navy tends to produce as clean a lot of fighting men as you'll see afloat or ashore. Character-building begins with habits of personal care and cleanliness. And you're likely to find that your man has the Gillette Safety Razor as part of his personal kit, with its own definite place in his ditty-box. Gas sailor has a better idea than any other man of the world-wide popularity of the Gillette. He has bought his blades in every port of the Seven Seas. And the Gillette Company freely acknowledges its debt of gratitude to the Men of the Navy for their part in introducing this American invention to the Far Countries of the World. If there is a man anywhere who is not enthusiastic over the Gillette it is probably because he has not caught the simple knack of using it. There are thousands of young men just coming to shaving age. The Gillette will help them to form good habits—the saving of small sums that count up to big ones, the habit of getting started on time—of doing a thing perfectly in the quickest way, with the fewest motions. Write for the New Gillette Catalogue. See the thirty styles of Gillette Safety Razors, $5 to $50. Gillette Dealers everywhere. If You Live In Canada—write the Gillette Safety Razor Company of Canada, Ltd., 73 St. Alexander St., Montreal, for Canadian Catalogue and Prices. Milady Décolleté is the dainty little Gillette used by the well-groomed woman to keep the underarm white and smooth. GILLETTE SAFETY RAZOR CO. BOSTON, U.S.A. |

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.  |
