BARRIERS.
1t is no unusual sight TO see

On one end of the pole il a
stool, on the other a large brass
basin.
When he encounters a man
who is in need of his services he
stops where he is and leans his
pole UP against the wall Of O
house. He then places his stool
on the pavement and pulls out
the drawers from under the seat.
From this he takes his razors.
- When the customer is uncom-
fortably seated, he places the
brass basin holding the water by
his side and starts to work.
Carrying his barber establish
ment right along with him has it's
advantages. His rent is nil, and

impatiently, reading last years
