GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and
all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such
LLtriection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a
r ,station brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the
:Titation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into
Z"' hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when
;;?affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the
..,e ost valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but
f inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as
re consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon
40 rinds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable
of all
inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET
441 GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for
0 last thirty years.
To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro-
P('sedc, .—Wh do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend

because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth
