"But I tell you I don't know the

to the point. Mr. Sprinkle. I don't
want to know anything about It. I'm
a mechanical engineer; not n barber.”
"Very true, sir,” responded my
visitor; "but that's no reason you
shouldn't share with me In the con
trol of the barber shop business of
this country. A man doesn't have
to be a clown to own a circus, And,
as I was going to tell you, I have
figured out that It takes a full half

poo a man nnd put him In condition
to go out on the street. I«et’s say
there're a hundred thousand men
shampooed In the United States every
day. That’s 'way below actual figures,
but we'll take that Just to get an Idea
of the time consumed. A hundred
thousand men at half an hour each Is
fifty thousand hours, Fifty thousand

i

nine months. That shows you the
time that's being consumed In the
United States cleaning men's heads
— nearly six years every day. And
do you know why? Because the ton-
sorlsl artist Is the only workman on
the fuco of the civilized earth who
continues to do business In the same
primitive style ns his Egyptian an
cestors—all by hnnd. No earthly rea
son for It, except that It has never

barber shop with labor-saving ma
chinery ; thnt Is, It never occurred to
anybody until yours sincerely, HI
Sprinkle, happened to he passing. You
begin now to cntch the drift of my

hob) of It with tne rind you will do
your part as I have done mine, we'li
revolutionize the tonsorlal business
of the civilized world, and Incidental

the millionaire class."
"Have you done any figuring on the
coat of making these machines?''
"Yes. sir. In a rough sort of way.
Oughtn't to cost more than three dol
lars, I should say, at the outside,
after we get the necessary machinery
for making the parts. We could sell
'em for ten dollar* apiece, easy; a
gross profit of over two hundred per
cent: or. we needn't sell 'em at nil—
Just rent them. According to the last
census there were some hundred and
fifty thousand barbers and hnlrdress-
ent In the United States, Suppose
we rented shsnipooers to only half
of them -say seventy-five thousand
machines. Two and a half or even
four dollars h month would be dirt
cheap, considering the returns the
barbers will get from them, but sup
pose we estimate on only a dollar:
there's a gross monthly Income of
seventy-five thousand dollars, or nln*»
hundred thousand a year. Now. esti
mating the cost of producing these
machines nt three dollar*, we have
a total cost of two hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars, leaving
us a clear gross profit over cost of
manufacture of six hundred and sev
enty-five thousand dollars. And that’s
just for the first year. There’s no
reason why these machines shouldn't
last an Indefinite time, for It’s one
of my hobbles to Insist upon durability
combined with simplicity; so thnt
after the first year every penny of
the nine hundred thousand dollars,
outside of office and collection ex-
penses, would be pure gravy, How
does it strike you. brother?''
"To be candid,” said I, “your esti
mates strike me ns a trifle loose nnd
extravagant: but, allowing a liberal
discount for enthualnam and ml*-
calculations and unexpected difficul
ties. It does look as though there
ought to be money in It, I'll admit.
But of course you will understand,
Mr. Sprinkle, I enn’t be expected to
pass judgment upon the matter until
I have seen the machine in opera
tion and have had an opportunity to
atudy the situation in all it* details.
Juat at thia time I happen to be ex
tremely busy, but suppoae you bring
your machine around here to my
office, aay. at half past seven tomor
row evening, and let me look It over
and go Into the matter more fully
with you then. I simply haven't a
moment to spare this morning.

a most Important engagement. You

Sprinkle. I want you to know thnt I

have told me I don't see why we

Mr. Sprinkle grubbed me by the
knee again ns I was about to rise,
"Just a moment, brother," be per-
suaded. "I don’t want you to nils-
