This is a shout out to anyone who can find a picture of this man. I have scoured the internet and various biographical resources and have met with dead ends. It would be great if one was found and placed within the article...Cheers,Longevitymonger

There's a picture from the New York Times - Can we use the picture in the historical article? - Dirkstanley

By the way, I uploaded gaisman.jpg which is a picture, just have no idea how to add it into an infobox or other method... Also, it's from the NY times - How do we verify the copyright license? (Is it OK to use a Times photo from 1914, that appeared in his 1974 obituary?) - Dirkstanley 71.192.39.248 (talk) 19:11, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A great article, I had no idea that Gaisman was still alive in 1974. I agree that references would be good. A good one is bwlow (1). A picture of Gaisman may have appeared in Business Week Nov. 26, 1930 which article is probably the source of the quote about Gaisman being a confirmed bachelor. The correct name of Gillette's company at the time was the Gillette Safety Razor Co. ^[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by RobtXYZ (talk • contribs) 00:39, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone posted "Is anyone 100% sure that Henry Gaisman was born in the USA? I have found some contradictory information about this." - He was according to this article in the New York Times ^[2]. Does anyone else have any different information? Dirkstanley (talk). I have some contradictory information contained in my grand father memoires (Marc Roger Geissmann).
