U.R) A 71-year-old Shamokin barber paused in his work and looked back at over 50 years in his trade. Frank K. Sheary thinks one of the big changes in barbering over the years is the different attitude of the customers. He tinds they have grown more con siderate over the years. Sheary said the big revolution in the trade came with the in vention of the safety razor. Be fore that three-fourths of the bar ber's business was shaving. The veteran fondly recalls the day of the 10-cent shave and the S cent haircut, when men flock ed into the barber shops once a week for a shave. Saturday night vns the time of the heaviest busl ipss. Everyone wanted to look clean-shaven for Sunday. After the safety razor became mpiilar, Sheary said, the shaving uisiness dropped off until to iay a barber sometimes goes an entire day without shaving a inn.
