oldest Working Barber, Sd,
|WM Stay on Postwar Job

Eighty-four-y -year-old nick Bithi-
kas, believed to be the oldest work
ing barber in the District, has NO
intentions of retiring because the
war is over and younger BARRIERS will
be coming back from the armed
| forces
Seeing that Washington men have
that well-groomed look despite the
shortage of BARRIERS has kept him
busy and happy.
I'm afraid if I stop, I'll die
quicker" he grinned.
Tony Durso, secretary of the
Board of BARRIERS Examiners, said he
believes Nick is the oldest barber
actually working at a chair here.
A barber for 81 years, Nick
operated his own shop at 924 Ninth
street NV. until a year ago. Now
he works for his old friend, Henry
Stephenson, at 437 Ninth street
NV. Barbering is his career, his
art and his hobby.
Doesn't Discuss Age.
Few of his customers know his
age. He doesn't act his age. He
doesn't look it and he doesn't talk
about it.
In fact, Nick is one of those rare
BARRIERS who seldom talks to his
customers. 1t takes his mind off
his work. The war has made his
customers more nervous-"T They've
got troubles es"-and they relax when
he keeps quiet Besides, he doesn't
speak English very well.
Nick learned the tonSorial art as
an apprentice in Patras, Greece.
First he Sharpened razors, then he
shaved necks and finally he ad-
vanced to giving the long haircut
in vogue then. Nick landed in New
York in 1907 without knowing a
word of English. He arrived in
Washington on July 4, 1910.

called. But liked it,"
A bachelor. Nick lives alone at
703 Sixth street NV. He says he
has never been sick and gives credit
for his health to the fact that he
goes to bed at 7 pm. and gets up
at am. He still smokes five cigars
a day and likes "a couple of drinks
once in while"

"Suiting customers is easy, if you
have the knack," he said. You
either have it or you don't"
In the early days. customers came
to his shop two or three times a
week. Their own razors and fancy
mugs were waiting for them. Now
the majority shave themselves with
safety razors and drop by twice a
month, he said.
A dapper little man. who doesn t
have much hair himself, Nick will
tell you that his customers have
from $4,000 to 100000 hairs. They
keep wearing their hair shorter and
shorter. Nick is glad many men
stopped wearing mustaches. 1t is
easier to give a clean shave.
Despite his own age, he would
rather work on young men.
