OLD FASHIONED BARBER. BEST
Writer objects strenuousiy to tho
"TonsorIaI Artist" With His Afro
cious Clothes and Talk.

Scarce a man living but at times
drifts into dreaming and picturing
what he might do II he had wealth.
Many-far too many!-aspire to some
thing that may contribute to the SEN
sational headlines. Here and there
Is one who merely inclines toward
some modest benefaction. For our own
part, suddenly finding ourself rich. We
should like to devote much Of It to
eliminating the 'tonsorial artists"
from the field of barberdom: sepa-
rating the tares from the wheat az II
were. .--
The average "tonsorial artist" ar.
fects the most atrocious netkwear;
dons a millionaires vest with mill.
wright's trousers. and puts popular
ideas Of garb all at points. He talks
glibly of scandal, horse races and hair
restorer and eventually drives many
q man to whiskers who Is perfectly
sane and normal. otherwise. There
are too many Of him!
On the other hand the old fashioned
barber" knows his financial. mental
and artistic limitations. He seldom
feels better acquainted with you the
second time over than he did the first
He assumes you know what you want
better than he does and rarely forces
his extras" Mostly he IL good
tradesman. clearly and careful In his
work. One of his stripe puts greater
crimp in the safety razor business
than all the artists" combined. Bless
him, there is not enough OF him.
