Gillette FHIcrHn Shoulder
and OYerhdnging Cap

At the left you see a diagram (nueh en-
"A larged) of this epoch-making improve
ment-the New Gillette Safety Razor.
You see the Fnlcrum Shoulder and Our
hanging Cap.
You see how the blade is bifexed between
Overhanging Cap and Fulcrum Shoulder.
1t is hexed once into the inside curve of the
cap. This is the minor Aexure" curve
for easy gliding action and play Of the wrist in
shaving.
1t is flexed second time-nore sharply
and on a shorter radius-by the grip of the
Overhanging Cap the whole length Of the
Fulcrum Shoulder.
This is the "major fexure"-a mighty ad-
vance, make no mistake about that
1t holds the blade rigid and fat the whole
length Of the shaving edge.

Here is that thing long sought but never
before achieved shaving edge guarded
from the face but free to the beard.
All in all, it took some $1,000 calculations,
proved out by more than 10000 actual shaw
ing tests, TO make the New Gillette an accom-
plished fact.
1t is now ready-the New Improved Gillette
Safety Razor.
A radical improvement over the old-type
Gillette, and the first shaving instrument of
precision ever invented.
Evening journal., 1921-05-16

ONE great secret ofAmerican success is the
~ readiness to scrap the old machine, process
or device for an improvement that will do the
work better in less time and with happier results
Read the history of progress, and you will
find that no one inventor ever produced
machine in its final and perfected form.
To John Fitch in 1887 belongs the credit of
the first steamboat, plying in the Delaware River
between Burlington and Trenton.
1t was Robert Fulton's "Clermont" that first
made steam navigation practicalby the invention
of the paddle wheel.
A cotton gin of the roller type had been
known long before Eli Whitney ever saw boil

of raw cotton - but it was Whitney's genius
that transformed the idea and made it practical
And it was Hodgen Holmes of Georgia who
invented the toothed wheel which has long since
superseded Whitney'S original wire fingers
The Gillette marked the first great advance
in the art of shaving in 5000 years.
Up to the present time, by the worlds verdict,
it has remained the most efficient shaving device
known to men.
1t is now superseded, under world wide
patents, by the New Improved Gillette Safety
Razor-an advance SO positive as to increase
shaving efficiency more than 7 so, and add to the
daily comfort of men in every part of the globe.

Hon This Great Invention
Came about

TN 1914, when the Gillette Company was
i called on to devote its energies TO meeting
the shaving needs of the Armies and Navies of
the World, it was given its first opportunity to
study al. .frSt-hand the shaving habits of men in
the mass.
ACommittee then formed to collect and col
late the data so obtained found literally hun
dreds of variations in the way of shaving with
the Gillette.
Open adjustment, close adjustment, and
every shade between the extremes.
Tight grip, loose grip. Grip with the whole
hand and grip with the tips of the fingers.
Grip close up under the head and grip at the
very end of the handle.
Variation as much as IS degrees in ap-
preaching the razor TO the face. In short
every variation of beard, skin and tempera-
ment reflected in a mans use of his Gillette.

The First Shaving Instrument
of Precision

4 GROUP of Technical Experts then
n started out to perfect the Gillette me-
chanicalIy-to make it finer and more accu-
rate, an instrument of precision.
Thousands Of measurements and calcula-
tions had been worked out, when three remark
able discoveries were made.
These we're the Gillette Falcr+m Shoulder,
Ovsrkarginc Gap and Channeled Guard
These three discoveries proved to be the crux
Of the whole problem.
For the first time in any razor, here is micro
metric control of blade position.

Edith Kelly Could Plea
Called Extortion Effort
Former Justice Seabury Argues
Against Appeal on Ruling De-
nying $4,000 Allowance

Justice Guy in the Supreme Court
yesterday reserved decision on the ap-
plication of Mrs. Edith Kelly Gould
for an allowance of $4,000 to prose
cute her appeal from the decision of
Justice Mullan, who dismissed her d.
vorce suit. Justice Mu1lan held that
Mrs. Gould could not maintain her ac-
tion because her husband had obtained
decree in Paris. Mrs. Gould con-
tends that she and her husband always
were residents of the United States,
although they lived in Paris, and that
the French courts did not have juris-
diction.
Almet F. jerks, formerly presiding
justice of the Appellate Division, Sec
end Department, appeared as counsel
for Mrs Gould. He told Justice Guy
that his client was not able financially
to perfect her appeal.
Former Justice Samuel Seabury, for
MIR. Gould, said that the action of Mrs,
Gould was an effort to extort money
from his client. Judge Seabury said
that Mr.. Gould had obtained valid
decree in Paris; that Mrs Gould had
invoked the aid of the French court
and that by that act had admitted she
had residence abroad

CHIEF SCHMIDT'S
HAND IS BURNED

Chief August Schmidt of the
Rock Island fire department, was
painfully burned on the hand yes
terday at the fire at the residence
of Morris Greenblatt, S24 Nine
teenth street. Several big blisters
formed on the hand, but the chief
does not anticipate any serious re-
suits from the injury. In fact he
was not aware that he had been
burned until some time after the
fire. Two of the firemen were also
slightly burned.
Chief Schmidt stated yesterday
afternoon that the probable loss at
the Greenblatt fire would be 81 500.
The flames, he said, had damaged
the attic before the fire was dis
covered.
