From barbering to cabinet-making
were the steps Charlie Miller took
Friday afternoon when he devoted
some time to removing the varrish
from his piano recently damaged by
fire. The instrument was scorched by
the heat and its beauty reduced sew
eral hundred dollars worth. He
brought it to the rear room at his
barber shop last week where it was
dismanteled. None of the interior
parts were very seriously damaged
and Mr.. Miller thinks he will be able
to do all the repairing himself.
