DISTINCTIVE WORK
At BEAUTY PARLOR

It is unusual in these days where
beauty parlors are so numerous to
have something that no other parlor
has But the Greta A. Hagerman
Shop in the new Purinton building,
Augusta has that distinction.
Here the Merlin method, recog-
nized as one of the very best in the
country, is used by Miss Celia
Tobey, who has just come to the
Hagerman parlor Miss .Tobey is d
graduate of the Eastern College of
Beauty College and not only is a
Merlin expert but is also accom-
plished in finger waving, hair dye
ing, hair bleaching and manicuring.
More than that she has specialized
in messages for local skin eruptions
with marked success.
1t Is a pleasure for any woman to
visit the parlors of Greta Hagerman,
not only because of the fine arrange
ment of everything, but also be-
cause of the excellent work done.
Formerly the Boardman parlors.
this place is winning name of it's
own because of the satisfactory work
done. In addition to the branches of
beauty culture already mentioned,
water waving, marcel waving, fac
ials, skin and scalp treatments are
also featured
TO nave wave put into ones
hair at Mrs. Hagermans, is an as
surance that it is a real wave, one
that looks well and will stay a long
while. The steadily increasing num-
Der of Mrs. Hagerman's customers
is the best proof of the excellent
work she is doing.
Although Mrs. Hagerman has been
IN business for herself only since
the early part of September, her
parlors have already become very
popular with the women of Augusta
and vicinity. Both she and Miss
Tobey have personalities that are
very pleasing and this, together with
their desire for the best individual
care. has done much for the success
Of the business.

GOOD UNDERGOING
FOR COLD WEATHER

1t is decidedly the time to have
shoes fixed for the cold weather. In
these days. when low shoes are worn
in cold weather more than ever be-
fore. it Is necessary that these shoes
be whole and that they be COM
Portable.
Ludger Buteau runs a shoe repair
shop on upper Water street. Au-
gusta. where one may be assured
that the best of shoe work is done.
OXfords, pumps, high shoes and
other kinds of footwear may be
taken there and the owners of them
may be assured that the work done
will be well done.
There are many little things that
may be done to a pair of shoes to
make them more comfortable or
warmer. The putting in of inner
soles is one of these. There are
some men who like double taps on
their shoes during the cold months.
1t is a good plan. There are other
men who prefer rubber soles or
some form of composition sole.
These, too, are put on in good shape
by Mr.. Buteau.
Already boys and men are begin
ming to put on their leather top rub
bers. OF course the travelling is not
slushy or really wet, but those hav-
ing much tramping to do out in the
fields and other places where the
water settles find them needed. New
rubbers will be sewed to leather
tops by Buteau and in this way
real economy is gained. 1t is wise,
too, If one needing to have this work
done would see to it that the job is
taken te the shop before the snow
comes. for then there will be a real
rush and it will be a case of waiting
until the work can be finished.
