Gillette
Safety
Razor

Have You Seen the New Gillettes
Specially Designed for the Fighting Man?

THESE models were designed by members of the
Gillette Organization who have seen service with
the Colors and know what the soldier is up against.

Hundreds of officers and men are buying them--the
U. S. Service Set in metal case, and the new Khaki-
covered sets for Uncle Sam's soldiers and officers.

The Gillette is one razor for the man who is do-
ing things--the one razor with world-wide use and
reputation.

When a man wants new Blades he can get them at
any Post Exchange or Y. M. C. A. Hut--here in
America or Overseas.

Our Paris Office carries stocks--is constantly sup-
plying the American Expeditionary Forces. Gillette
Safety Razors and Blades on sale everywhere in
France, England, Italy and the Eastern battle fronts.

Ten million up and doing men all over the world
had discovered the Gillette before the war broke
out. The war simply made the Gillette prove

itself under extreme conditions--as no other
razor has or can.

It has thrown the spotlight on the Gillette
Blades--on the Gillette principle of No Strop-
ping--No Honing--on the Gillette idea of a
simple, compact shaving outfit, no strops or
hones to clutter up the kit--on the Gillette con-
tention that a man's daily shave should be an
incident and not a ceremony.
