I. And Up-to- Date. IS

p: +. Murray, whose mems beauti-
flying parlors are located in the base
|ment OF the Finch building on The
northwest corner of Chestnut street
and Wyoming avenue, opposite the
street car line depot, wishes his many
friends to know that he is still busy
fixing up the heads of men and max
ing them fit for. the very politest
society in the city. .. j..
For: barber shop, Mr.. Murry has
the finest on the range, if modern i'm.
provements and appliances count for
something: He runs four chairs in
his shop, a shoe shining chair, en-
ploys q porter to wait on his custom.
ers, and he sees to it that the shop is
kept neat and clean every hour Of the
day.
Besides the barber chairs and the
shoe shining outfit, he has always in
readiness, four bathrooms, and the
fact that they are in operation in
connection with Murray's shop is a
guarantee to everybody of their
cleanliness and perfect sanitary con-
dition. After each bath the tubs are
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected so
that it is impossible for a person to
contract disease while bathing.
Also, it is worth the considera-
ton Of men who habitually get shaved
in shops, what, if any precaution is
taken by the proprietor and the en-
Fployees with regard to razors, strops,
cups, brushes, etc. In the good old
days that our grandparents talk
about people were not afraid of the
infectious bugs, now known as mi
crobes. 1t had to be as large as a
Jersey musquito to be either noticed
or feared, but science has shown us
at this day that those who cannot
be seen except by the most powerful
magnifying glasses are the deadly
ones, and consequently to be most
feared and guarded against.
The danger from infection is great
in a barber shop and in a bath, and
therefore, it is very important that
all tools and implements used are
free from infection. Mr.. Murray
seeks to guard against such things y
using the latest and most appro zee
devices that can be used in such 6
place, both in the shop and in tht
bath and his customers are not slow
to recognize the fact.
He has lately installed in his shc1
a machine known as the electro pris.
matte wave. there being only one 9th.
er on the range, and known as an EFF.
fective remedy against dandruff, thu
falling Of the hairsand other scalr
diseases which heshopes will prove .
blessing to his many customers.
Mr.. Murray came to the city in
1905, at which time he started t.
work for Mr.. Johnson, where he made
many friends who are now his steady
customers. In 1912, he started in
business for himself, where he is now
located, buying out C. R. Parker.
He is married and has four children
attending the public schools of Vir.
GINA. He is member of the Modern
| WoOdmen. tho Odd Fol1oxue Tovo1
Order of Moose, the M. B. A., and the
R. N. of A. lodges, in most of which
he holds position of trust.
Mr.. Murray is one of Virgin;a's best
boosters, believing that the town has
only commenced to grow, and that in
the near future we will have a popu-
lation of at least $4,000.
He is a candidate for alderman from
the First ward with excellent chances
Of election.
