The late Mrs Cyril Johnston, whom I knew, pronounced it Gillett & Johnston
with a hard G  (as in Granny). Presumably Cyril also did, and it follows
that his father, AAJ, would have done so; and he knew William Gillett.
I think the soft G (as in George Dawson, and as used by him) comes from the
days of Gillette's razor blade's, in more comon use in Cyril's day than now.
Some excellent stuff from CJP on that firm's several titles and their use,
for which thanks.
