VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement features a smiling individual wearing what appears to be an aviator's helmet and goggles, suggesting they may be a pilot or involved in aviation. The ad is for Gillette razor blades, with the tagline "Gillette Saves Steel" prominently displayed at the bottom. The text urges readers to consult "mechs," likely shorthand for mechanics, who would attest to the durability and quality of small parts—a metaphor extended to praise the longevity and economy of Gillette blades during a time when steel was presumably a critical resource. This suggests that the advertisement dates back to an era where materials were being conserved for efforts such as wartime production.
