Barber Shops in China.

Since the Chinese revolution a great many Chinese have had their cues cut off, and this has led to the opening of a large number of barber shops throughout the fareast wherever Chinese are located, shys an exchange. Several progressive business men of Singapore, anticipating this, imported a large number of American barber chairs, and they are now unable to get supplies quickly enough. It has also been learned that the Chinese insist on having American Bair clippers, and refuse ail other makes offered them. It would seem that American manufacturers of barbers’ supplies Bhould experience a large increase in their Oriental trade.
