GARY BARBER PATRONS
BALK AT PRICES
Demand for Razors Swamp
Stores in Answer to the
Increase in Prices.

What has become OF the rush Of pa
irons IN Gary's tonsorial shops.
The answer is an easy one. Gary 5
male population are leaving the art
OF shaving themselves as they refuse
to pay the new price list that went
into effect a week ago yesterday. A
jump of Is cents to 65 cents for a hair
cut and ten cents advance to 35 cents
for a shave IS now in vogue.
TOO much money say the Gary
barber shop patrons. we will shave
ourselves first. AS a result it is esti-
mated that close TO a thousand straight
blade razors and safety blade razors
have been sold in the city in the past
week and a big demand for more
One business house that had received
its Christmas stock Of razors and safe
ty blades have completely sold out ac-
cording to the owner, today and he has
put in an order for more. Other stores
in the business district report the
same demand One store was cleaned
out of 500 dozen Gillette razor bIades
alone and yesterday sent in an order
by telegram ordering a thousand doz-
en- more.
Il never shaved myself in my life
before" said a prominent Broadway
business man 10 the WllteE IhlS morn
ing; but enough Is enough It IS
outrageous to soak a man 35 cents for
a shave. !. like hundreds Of other
men have 70 shave every day and ut
the end of a week with a hair cut and
a few extra frills 1 find / am paying
out three and four dollars to my bar
ber. I'm through and they are not
going to soak me any more.
Another Gary man was likewise piq-
ued over the new price list. 4 used to
get shaved every day and a hair cut
once a week. Now I am shaving my
self and viii get a hair cut every two
or three weeks" The above opinion
is similar among the Gary patrons and
instead OF the barber shop owners
getting rich like they anticipated il
looks like they are going 70 be the
ones that will suffer.
The BARRIERS claim that the shop
owners were responsible for the new
prices. Gary BARRIERS now get SAL
airy of S27 a week and percentage
over $50 and say they are making less
money now than they did All shops
in the city report that the trade has
fallen off % to so per cent To make
a long story short, Gary refuses to pay
the new prices.
