The Rutland Evening News remarks,
with an exaggerated air that: "a Mont
pelier barber who has shaved and clipped
the locks of Vermont's legislators for the

retired from business on his acquired

at the composite photograph of Vermont
legislators for the past third of a century,
one wonders that the door of every barber
shop in Montpelier is not draped with
cobwebs The Barre Times takes eX-
ceptions to this and says that the majority
of legislators are very well groomed, during
their stay in town, at least
