A late as the Eighteenth Centurv
L \ when George ii. was on England's
throne, the barber and the surgeon were
affiliated; and the barber was known
as "barber-surgeon" Since 1745, when
a statute was passed separating the
two, we have drifted far from the con-
ception of the barber as member Of
dignifed and skilled profession.
1t has always been our object to re-
store the barber to his former plane as
a eni-professional man. Something
more than mere pride IS responsible.
Through years of experience we have
learned that technical knowledge and
highly developed skill are as essential
to the barber as to the surgeon.
So we maintain an established school
for the purpose of educating our men
in the finer points of their profession.
1t is not a school to teach barber how
to manipulate razor, clipper or scissors.
The novice has no place with US; and
we have no place for him. Every man
must be bascally proficient when he
joins our staff; our rigid employment
regulations insure that. But no man
is permanently assigned until he has
completed the intensive, embracing,
postgraduate course in the Terminal
School.
There his knowledge and skill are
enhanced by means of scientific demon
strations and lectures. He is taught far
more than the popular notion Of bar
bering. He learns the construction of

Until Terminal barber has mastered
these principles he must attend the
daily sessions, where, under the tutelage
of the highest officials of the company,
the science OF modern barbering is
taught.
At these sessions the barber not only
learns, but is impressed and inspired
with the enthusiasm and the will to
excel which, coupled with ability and
training, are characteristic of every
member of the Terminal staff. These
attributes may be credited with making
Terminal BARRIERS the most famous in
America.
To be served by such men is to know
the best that scientific research and
painstaking effort can produce-and is
to experience the greatest possible
satisfaction.

Haskell & Barker
Pullman Merger Is
Virtually Closed
Stock Exchange i'm Ratio of
4 to 5 Planned; Shares
Strong on Belief Holders
Will Get Extra Dividend

| CHICAGO, Nov. 1b.--Details Of the
consolidation Of the Pullman COM
pany and tho Haskell Barker Car
Company virtually have been COM
pletsd, it was learned here to-day.
The stock will be exchanged, 1t was
understood, in the ratio Of four
shates Of HASKELL Barker for three Of
Pullman. This ratio, it Is said. was
agresd upon because larger valua-
ticn Of the Pullman company was said
to have occurred through the dis
covsry that amounts charged of for
depreciation were found TO Be greater
than actual depreciation Of property.
1t was said to be in prospect that
the Pullman company would make a
revaluation to show the tangible in
crease in value of property in its hold
ings.
With the merger Edward r. Garry,
now president Of the Haskell Barker
company, will become president Of
the Pullman company and John H.
Runnels, president Of tho Pullman
company. will become chairman Of the
board OF directors, it was announced.
Both Haskell & Barker and Pullman
shares advanced sharply yesterday on
reports that the proposed merger was
nearing completion. The former at
1875 made a new high for the year
and at the close showed net gain Of
21s points. Pullman stock jumped
from 1854 TO 109.a and ended the day
at 100, up 8M.
In local financial circles the merger
negotiations have been accompanied by
talk Of extra dividends to stockhold-
ers Of both companies. Pullman has
authorized and outstanding 100000
shares Of 800 par. Haskell & Barker
has outstanding 100000 shares Of the
250,000 shares authorized no par
value, leaving $4,000 shares in the
treasury. If distributed befors the
consolidation this would be equivalent
to stock dividend Of about IA per
cent.
The suggestion is also understood to
have been made to the committees
representing both companies negotiat-
ing the consolidation that the capitali-
zation Of the new corporation be made
large enough to make possible sub
stantial stock dividend.
Pullman & Co. directors are
scheduled to meet within a few days
to approve the merger and the Has
kell s. Barker board will meet later.
Stockholders meetings will follow.

"The fundsm entail cause of our

alignment of prices. The trouble
Is not that our prices are too high
or too low. or even that they have
fallen too fast. 1t is that they are
seriously out OF line with each
other and particularly that there
is great gap between the prices Of
raw materials and finished products.
"Since there seems but slight
prospect that the prices Of raw ma

soon rise rapidly, it is most impor
tant that those Of manufactured ar

readjustments Of the costs Of trans

will be made known.
The bankers said they had never

pointed out that at least SO per cent,
