tomary 10 cents. Five minutes later
apparently the same man came back
into the shop very wrathy, his beard
bristling with three days growth.
He swore that he had not been half
shaved. and demanded that the work
be done over.
The astonished barber apologized
and complied, but Judge Of his horror
when not ten minutes later his ous-
toner came back madden than ever,
his beard still showing on his face, and
demanded another shave. Again the
barber, after some protest, complied,
but when his man returned the fourth
time IL was too much.
See here!" he cried, If you're try
ing TO sell me some patent hair raiser
I'll take your whole stock, but II you
are an escaped museum freak. either
you've got to get out or I'll have to
close this shop"
The fifth and sixth brothers had TO
pay for their shave.
