thats a cool pic!
great find! that pic is great!
Larry, you've been finding some very cool stuff. Thanks.
Neat Pic. I used to collect old cabinet photos of farms and farm equipment.. I have a cabinet photo of an old general store that has an old advertising sign for John Deere Plows out front. Neat Sign.
I just noticed that the date of the photo was March 1939. I would say that the Barber in the photo was probably drafted into the Army to fight WW2.
Matsuey37, I'm a history nut. I'd give anything to be able to identify the barber, and find out whether he was drafted into WW II as you wondered, and what became of him. After producing the perfect unperfectable further edge on a straight, I'm moving on to my work on a time machine!
Great photo! Thanks.
