year - Miss Tillie Zmurko has

building, typing marriage license applications~nearly 5,000

Tough Topkicks Convert
G.I. Joe Into Dapper Dan

~became G.I. Joe it turned him into
le Dapper Dan, a survey just completed here reveals. -

| Seeking sharpness, both figurative and literal, the nation~ s 46 million shavers now use ah average of
'~~ razor blades annually,-in con
~trast to 43-before the war, -the sur- |.

~vey, shows. Army and- navy train~ing, which emphasized the daily
shave, is considered the major factor responsible for the increase, according to Arthur H. Rogow, vice
president of Eversharp company, in
~announcing results of the survey.: The average doughboy or gob,
stimulated by tough topkicks and
bellicese bos~ns, used an average of
~125. blades annually, he pointed out.
| Thisé war-born habit of frequent

' trimming of:the underbrush was re
sponsible for skyrocketing sales of
razors and blades made by American manufacturers to an all-time
high estimated at 80 million dollars
during 1946, Rogow said. The total
was nearly twice that of the previous record year, 1929, when sales
~amounting to 42 million dollars
were rung up.

| National prosperity, which gave
the average man more money to
~spend on his personal appearance,
~was the second major factor in
| stimulating the trend toward beard\less. jowls, the survey indicated.
~This was expressed not only in
~more frequent shaving, Rogow
pointed out, but in a more saan
attitude toward blades.
