Description
An advertisement for Williams' Shaving Soaps, "the favorites for half a century." Unlike most ads from the time period, this ad does not feature large amounts of text, instead featuring a well-rendered illustration a man holding a package of Williams' Shaving Soaps and smiling, with several other illustrations of the product below.
Due to the tagline "The Favorites for Half a Century", this ad seems to place all its emphasis on the reputation of the product.
