A BOSS BARBER IS NOW THREE-

And now only the boas barbers are
working over the river. It's a splendid
sight In Intensification of Industry to
witness a boss barber In a three chair
establishment In East New York at
work, lie will have hot towels on Oie
face of one customer, be shaving the
second and applying the lather to the

barbers went on strike.

where the barbers have struck resemble
a Bowery bread line, In mors ways than

unshaven through no fault of their own
as the veriest bum In the Bowery,
