Cluett shirt ad for Arrow Collars (1931), Wrigley's Doublemint Gum wrapper (1918), disposable razor blades, B.V.D. ad (1933), Lydia E. Pinkham's "Vegetable Compound" for treatment of "women's problems"

The Gilette ad reads in part, "Science has reached the acme of skill in the fusion, hardening, and sharpening of these blades. The process is one of the wonders of the 20th century."

"...land of Abraham Lincoln and Lydia Pinkham,

...from every B.V.D.

let freedom ring.

...i would

suggest that certain ideas gestures

rhymes, like Gillette Razor Blades

...are

Not To Be Resharpened."
