THE RAZOR TRADER.
Hetter Business For the EN-Baib"r Than
Working % "First Clair"

BETTER Business For the Es-Barb"r Than
Working u "First Clair"
A barber who for many years WAC
connected with one Of the big NJ
town establishments has lately quit
the place where he worked SO long
at the first chair" and has gone
into u littlo business venture of his
own that is paying him Letter than
his trade ever did. The scheme lie
is now operating is an original one,
and if business continues to increase
doubtless others will follow his eN-
ample. The ex barber not only car
ries ON his trade in this city, but Oh
certain days in the week inv"des
Brooklyn and Jersey City. He car.
ries his stock, which consists of IL
dozen or so razors and several homes.
Some of the raZOrs are new, but
many of them are old ones which he
has touched up, and these are al
ways preferred by IL Knowing bar
Der He enters shop and starts
conversation on razors. This results
in each barber producing lis pet
as well as those that be- is getting
tired of and which he Is always
willing to sell or trade. This is the
ex.barber's opportunity, and he pro
duces his stock. Then he makes a
dicker, and generally before he
leaves he trades ono Of his razors
for tho one tho barber is dissatisfied
with, but the barber always has to
pay something. The usual price in
the transaction is from Is to so
cents. 1t often happens, too, that
the barber will take Il fancy to one
of the new razors, and i'll such cases
he exchanges, but of course pays
moro than if it were just Il swap
Thus this man travels from place to
place, and sometimes IL razor given
in exchange down town and pro
uounced by its former owner as no
good will be exchanged for another
un town, some barber becoming i'm
pressed while handling ii with its
ring aud good looks.
All BARRIERS have an idea that &
razor when used too often becomes
what they call tired, ard they he,
licve that homes, straps or anything
else cannot bring it around allright
These 'tire,l" IaZors are the ones ON
which the ex.barber clears his big.
gest profits. and he gets them for al
NEST song. He fixes them up at
home nights. and these form the
bulk of his stock the next day.
Tired" razors are peculiar things
he says, hut if you know how to
handle them they only need IL night S
rest.
This man does not continc himself
alone to razOrs, but carries other
ba"bcr's tools about with him, He
will sell or swap anything, but there
must always be IL small money con,
eideration. Frequently q razor swap
ned by him finds its way into his
bands again, and in many cases he
has snapped it back to its original
owner. Of course the old owner rec
ognies it and hcsitates to ma Ike an
exchange, but ho is sure of his own
skill in fixing the razor up and
leaves it on trial He says they sci
dom fail TO prove all right. and on
his next trip to that shop the barber
gives another razor and pays the
difference. New York Sun.

to be very gorgeous and patriotic

ton by the New York correspond
cnt of the Pittsburg Dispatch; - o.
day | encountered the first genuine
summer military girl. She came
out of Days, and possibly some OF
the Broadway strollers may have
imagined that she had been at re.
hcarsal and didn't have time to
change her costume. Her gown
was a tailor made blue, with tacings
carrying the Stars and Stripes.
Around her grim waist was belt OF
red. white and blue ribbon gather ed
at the lett side in sword knot fash
ion. the ends almost reaching to the
hem of her skirt, the effect being
sashlikc. The tilted sailor, trimmed
with the national colors, topped off
this patriotic outfit; and, to cap the
climax this military summer girl was
a dream from the viewpoint of per-
sonal charms. A regiment of her
would conquer the world"
