vile. Canada 1t is intended to do away
with the suffering which every man mas
experienced who. at the BARRIERS. has had
his hair get down the back OF ms neck.
This Is especially annoying IN hot wea-
Their. Also he finds more or less OF 1t
scattered over his clothes. But the CON
trivanee above mentioned does away with
the trouble by catching the HAIR IN a
SORT OF trOugh-shaped rubber collar that
is adjusted about the customers throat,
a current of air thereupon whlsl1ng 1t
away through a tube connected with the
device. One advantage OF the latter as
claimed by Mr.. Deckert, Is that 1T VIII
