FOR THE 1 MAN IN 7 WHO SHAVES

EVERY DAY

A Special Shave Cream-It's Not a Soap, Needs No Brush! Dallyshaving 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 spo- cial cream for daily shavers. With no soap base, it's a complete departure from ordinary shave creams. No brush. No lather. Not sticky 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. Of comes each hair at the base without scraping. Like a cold cream, Glider helps keep your skin smooth all day Glider in the result of nearly 100 years' experience in making fine shaving preparations.">
