BETTER VALUE THAN EVER

The Gillette No. 77 Saf' dlustrated here, which contains the latusi Gillette razer, three Blue Gillette slotted blades and two blade holders in a new type of moulded box, has these definite advantages.

+

•

The razor is made in two pieces instead of thran, as formerly, thus making il easier and quicker to clean, assemble and use"

The blades are made by the new electrical-tempering process. They give not only closer, cleaner shaves than you have, ever had before, but also more shaves per blade.

The case is ideal for hot and humid climates as it is so easy to keep clean.

.

Ask your dealer to show you a No. 77 Selone of the most popular that Gilletta have ever made,
