266,000 of the New Gillette Blades a day!

Dominion-wide demand forces Gillette production to highest point in history

“Send more blades! Send more blades! Send more blades”

The telegrams keep pouring in; and our plant attempts to - answer them by making 266,000 of the New Gillette Blades a day! The highest production in our history!

Yet every one of those thousands of blades is carefully inspected. Every blade must be right.

If your dealer 1s temporarily short of the New Gillette Blades, he will have them presently.

If he has not been able to get a sufficient supply of the New Gillette Razors, remember that the new blades can be used in your old Gillette until you get your new one.

We promise to catch up to the demand very soon. Then everybody can have the perfect combination of the New Gillette ere in the New Gillette Razor.

The greatest $2.00 worth of comfort ever offered to men!

$1.00—the New Gillette Razor

$1.00—ten New Gillette Blades

Get this great combination the minute your dealer can supply it.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
