A BARBER FOR 62 YEARS.
A. b. Anthony Has Record Equaled by
Few Men


He has figured in many. many close
shaves for the last 81 years, Of which
81 years were spent right here in Bur-
lington. but nevertheless he is alive and
still in business of shaving which he
started when he was but a shaver Of
16 or II years Of age. He has been in
the same shop for more than 30 years
and that shop is located at 104 Church
street, up the stairs.
This barber. Abial Anthony, probably
| is the Oldest barber in the State in actual
number of years in service. and possibly
in age, for he is nearly 70 years old.
He is a native Of Burlington. having
been born here on May 8. 1889. His par
ents removed to Troy. N. Y, and he
grew up in that city. He removed to
Greenwich, N. Y, with a brother, and
there in 1856 started his career as a
| barber.
He remained at Greenwich for two
years and then went to Middebury and
there established a shop for himself.
He was there for about six years and
! then came to Burlington in 1854 and has
since remained here. He first had a
| shop in an old wooden building on the
| site of the present Exchange block at
the corner of Church and Main streets.
When that block was raised he removed
TO MS present location and has been at
| 1N Church street ever since. His shop
is now In the rear. but 1t formerly was
| In the front. overlooking Church street.
He is married and has two children,
a son. Albert, who is in Canada, and a
| daughter. who keeps house for him at
II Allen street.
Thine has certainly changed the style
| OF haircuts." said Mr.. Anthony yester-
day. land 1t keeps changing all the time.
You never know what's coming next"
The veteran tonsorial artist has large
number of customers. some of whom have
grown up as such from boys. but their
boyhood barber seems no older than he
did two score years ago.
