1944: PERSING THE BARBER TELLS OF BARBERING IN THE OLKDEN DAYS

Here's an interesting look at the life of a veteran tonsorial artist, barber Frank Persing, Things were really tough on those who chose that profession in years gone by. When I was a boy, the Barber's union mandated that barbers take off on Wednesdays. Is my recollection correct, or was it another day?

    Most of the barbers took off Wednesday's. I never knew it was because of the Barbers Union. Now most of them take off Monday's. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
