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 man's faces raw and sensitive. Yet, because of his business and social status, one cut of every men must shave every day.

To meet this condition, Williams has now developed GLIDER-a ape dal cream for daily shavers. With no soup base, it's a complete departure from ordinary shave creams. No brush. Nolather. 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 shaving preparations.
