Wherever people gather-certain men dominate. Successful men-sure of themselves--well-groomed. Every little detail of their appearance shows the perfection they demand.
Because Squibb's Shaving Cream gives them exactly the perfection they want, many prominent men have adopted it. Try Squibb's Shaving Cream yourself., Right from the start, you'll find shav- ing quicker, cleaner, easier.
