Monday January 2nd

Announcement at beginning of second broadcast at 8.30 a.m.

We are now going to broadcast a description of the second Test Match between
England and Australia at Melbourne through the courtesy of the manufacturers of
GILLETTE razors and blades.

We think you may be interested to know why the new slotted GILLETTE blade
gives such much better results than anu other; owing to its conformation it is
possible to give a different temper to the steel at the edge of the blade to
that in the centre. With the three hole blade the steel had to be the same
temper throughout and if the steel had been made ideally hard the blades would
have cracket in the holder.

But with the new slotted blade the steel round the slots can be left fairly
soft so that it will not crack and yet a very hard steel is obtained at the sides
which will take a finer cutting edge than has ever been possible before. This
is the result of years of experimentation on the part of the GILLETTE engineers.

If you have not tried the new slotted GILLETTE blade, buy a packet to-day
and prove to yourself that it gives a deener shave and lasts longer than any blade
you have previously tired. Make sure you ask for the slotted GILLETTE blades which
fit all types of GILLETTE Razors.
