If I understand Waits' correctly the trademark was first used in Dec. 1917 and applied for in Feb 1918.
I wish there was a proper trademark resource on the internet.
Also:
There is a typo on the box:
"A perfecty safe hair remover"

As far as I can tell no patent was actually issued (at least not in the US between 1915 and 1930)
and I just had a look at all razor patent images from that period.
I hate it when I see a really interesting razor with a teaser printed on it and nothing shows up.

They were probably too advanced for their time that the whole thing failed and the owners didn't see the relevance of paying the fees for completing the process. I think I should get one of those. I don't have a vintage disposable razor in my collection. This one would fit the bill.
