Pennsylvania Barber
Recollects 'Old Days'
Shamokin. Pa. 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.
