Number of Men With Toupees
Newark, N.J. - (DPD - The
number of men, who wear
toupees has doubled in the
past 10 years, says a New Jer
sey wigmaker, who's found
they're not as self-conscious
about it as they used to be.
"All kinds of people wear
wigs, said Louis Lehner of
Clifton, N.J. "Jersey politic
ians as well as actors who
want to impress the public,
and a truck driver who wants
to look as young as he can, or
some big-shot, executive try
ing to duck company retire
ment policies."
Wear Hair Piece
Women also wear hair
pieces, Lehner confided just
as many womenas men, in
fact.
Lehner, a hefty 5-foot 7,
Vienna -born wigmaker, has
turned out several thousand
wigs and toupees during his
12 years of doing business in
Newark.
The toupees cost anywhere
from $75 for a small piece to
$350 for a full head of hair.

Mother Seton, the wife of
a Protestant pastor before her
conversion to Catholicism,
was a native-born New York
er who founded the Sisters
of Charity of St. Joseph. She
died in 1821 after doing much
to organize parochial schools.
Beatification is one of the
first steps towards eventual
sainthood, a process that
sometimes takes many years.

several hundred pounds of
cut hair in 500 different col
ors and three different tex
tures - fine, medium and
coarse.
Lehner blends three or four
hair colors to achieve the de
sired color, since natural hair
is made up of different
shades.
The next step is to examine
a pre-bald photograph of the
customer. He tries on various
wigs during the first appoint
ment in order to select the
one most becoming.
The next step is to place a
paper pattern of the wig on a
wooden head and trace its out
lines in heavy black pencil.
Ribbon is placed on this trac
ing and silk lace is sewn on
the ribbon to form the wig's
foundation.
An elastic band is fitted
across the back. The wig foun

have been trained six months
for this work, spend 30 to 40
hours inserting several thous

with what is called a "venti

The booths in Lehner's shop
have separate exits so custo
