union BARRIERS INCREASE
SOME OF Their PRICES
BARRIERS Of MaysyiIIe Find That the
Increased Cost Of Everything Ne
ceSsary in Their Work Has So
Affected Them That An
Increase in Price Is
Necessary.

The Union BARRIERS of Maysville this
morning announced that beginning
with October l a new schedule of
of prices would go into effect which
incIe eases the price on hair cuts, mas
sages, shampoos and razor honing
from 25 cents to 35 cents. The price
Of shaving remains as at presents
ents
This increase in price by the bar
bers FOR their work has been expecte
here for some time as the BARRIERS IN
most all of the nearby cities have in .
creased their price some time ago. At
Paris Carlisle, Lexington and other
nearby towns the prices have been
increased for hair cut to so cents and
for a shave to % cents but the local
BARRIERS do not feel justified just al
this time to increase the prices thi :
much.
In talking over the increase in
price. prominent local BARRIERS point
ed out that everything that was neces
sary in their work had increased al
most 100 per cent. Even the small
towels that are used have increase
greatly in price.
There will'be no complaint from the
patrons of the local union shops for
the people generally understand that
as prices of living and everything
else has increased greatly in the past
few months the BARRIERS are entitled tc
slight increase for their work
