# Page 19 of "Spike That Man Out!" This is a story page from a pulp magazine, containing prose narrative alongside a Gillette razor blade advertisement. The visible text describes a conversation between characters named Lou, Lefty, and Madge about pitching in what appears to be a baseball or military aviation context (references to "dive bomber" and "Japs" suggest wartime setting). The lower half features a vintage Gillette advertisement targeting servicemen, with pricing for razor blades and illustrated instructions for proper shaving technique.

You’re a frank and honest cuss, Lou. Your eyes give you away all the time. Could you use a good coaeh?” “Right here you tell me,” Lou grinned and pushed back his chair. ‘Come on, kid. It’s crowded here.” An hour later, Lou knew he was not dreaming. They talked about Lefty and Service men must look top grade— Madge said he’d forget easy. Pitehing against those Japs in a dive bomber and setting up a strike-out record. Beaning them with his fast ones and gambling every minute. Lefty lived to take chances, like turning Madge Talbot over to a guy like Lou Bracker. A gambler has to lose sometime.
