Innged to Travel. But Tate
 Ecnt Hin, in One SpOt 50 Years

More than 50 years ago Paul R' Nogelgcsang decided to become B barber so that he might be able 10 travel 10 distant places at the ek- pense of master barbers. rms week he retired from his chosen ealing after spending all of hls career III shops situated in the same bu'ld'he.
 Mir. Nogelgesang is more than eo years of age and is the oldest barper in this city from standpoint or age and experience.
 He relates how he was fascinated by the stories of the great distances a barber could travel if he put ms name in a New York agency which would make arrangements to place him with barber in a distant c'ty. The understanding would be that the boss barber would pay the ex- pensc Of his assistant from the lattcr's home town 10 the city Tn which he was employed,
 The idea Of travelling at anothers expense appealed to him but he never had an opportunity 10 take advantage of it. The tables have been turned on him and he has been the victim of the trick on several occasions when he needed a barber.
 MT. NOgelgesang was working in New Britain factory when he learned that a position in q tonsorlal establishment was open. The shop was located under the store which is now occupied by the Fitch-Jones Co. on West Main street At that time the City Hall building was occupied by the Russwin hotel. For years he worked as an employe but later he bought the shop.
 He observed his 50th anniversary as barber in July, 1928.
