The Gillette Is Practical for You

ANY man will admit that it is a good thing
~ IN emergencies to be able to shave him
self-and to have the tools handy with
which to do it.
If he buys a GILLETTE just for emergencies
he will find himself using it every day, because it is
SO smple-no stropping no honing-it is easy
and it is safe
We advertise that man can have a clean salts
flying shave with the GILLETTE in five minutes
We will warrant that the average GILLETTE
does not take over two minutes and further
more, that he has a better shave than the barber
can give him, better than he can give himself with
the old-style razor in half an hour.
Nearly every GILLETTE owner becomes so
attached to his razor that he makes pet of it
thinks of it than almost any other of his per-
sonal belongings its just that kind of little
device beautiful piece of mechanism A fine
tool in every sense No trouble to keep in con-
dition and dependable at all times

The GILLETTE is kind to the face 1t does it's
work with any beard and any skin. It is the only
that can be adjusted for light close shave
