FOR THE 1 MAN IN 7 WHO SHAVES EVERY DAY
A Special Shave Cream—It's Not a Soap, Needs No Brush!
Dailyshaving leaves many men's faces raw and sensitive. Yet, because of his business and social status, one out of every 7 men must shave every day.
To meet this condition, Williams has now developed GLIDER-a spe cial cream for daily shavers. With no soap base, it's a complete departure from ordinary shave creams. "No brush. No lather. Notsticky or greasy.
A superabundance of moisture is contained in this rich cream. It won't dry on your face. Applied with the fingers, it quickly softens each whisker. A protective layer is formed over which your razor glides. Off comes each hair at the base without scraping. Like a cold cream, Glider helps keep your skin smooth all day. Glider is the result of nearly 100 years' experience in making fine
ving preparations.

The report states many offers have been received from the United States but no scheme has yet been devised to send children there.
Negotiations with the Dominions are now proceeding with the object of establishing machinery both here and in reception areas at the earliest pos- sible moment.
Central organisations will be tablished in receiving countries.
