...final contribution to physics. Again and again delayed?by illness, the collapse of delicate machinery, minute improvements in apparatus?Dr. Michelson stepped up to his corrugated steel, mile-long test tube stretching along the valley near Santa Ana, Calif., pressed a button, started whirling the tiny 32-sided mirror that is to determine once and for all the exact velocity of light...

And in the U. S. alone every year, 400,000 youths gaze into a mirror and realize they have come of shaving age. For many a year Gillette Safety Razor Co., oldest in its field, has led all competitors in supplying existing markets, and in prying into new markets...
