And then again we hear of the
case where shaving Is done with a
view to- economy. One well known

himself a satisfactory shave, as ne

beats the game, because he doesn't

/ In some shops the BARRIERS were
willing to state that their shaw
ing customers had dropped off rs
per cent. In others the percent
age was placed much lower.
The investigation proved several
things:
First-That more men shave
themselves than formerly.
Second-That mems faces don't
look as well as they did when
they had the attention Of care

Third-That men will handle
themselves in a way that would
cause them to fight n barber.
Fourth-That there Is preva-

ears.
Fifth-That the barber shops
are still doing business at the
same old stand.
