Need a hair cut?

Need hair cut:
Better get it this week for it may
cost YOU a dime extra next week.
If it had not been for two BARRIERS
at the meeting of the managers OF
tonsorial establishments of Walla Walla
held in the Keeler shop last night 1t
would have cost you 35 cents today to
get the raggedness removed from that
noble head of yours.
1t is not probable that the price will
be raised on shaves or that the 80 cents
now charged for a massage will be in
creased but nearly all of the BARRIERS
in town are agreed that the hair cut
price is too low. and there is prospect
that the dissenters will be brought into

Mr.. Keeler said that at the meeting
