King C. Gillette (1855-1932), Columbian Lodge, Boston, was the inventor of the iconic razor bearing his name. Founder of the Gillette corporation, he built one of the great companies of the 20th century and is considered a pioneer titan of industry in the American capitalistic system. In spite of that, Brother Gillette was a committed Socialist!
Ironically, Gillette founded his company for the sole purpose of financing the promotion of a new Socialist system.
