Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 July 1910 — BARBERS BOOST PRICES [ARTICLE]

BARBERS BOOST PRICES

1 AGAIN. -*The barbers’ trust of Rensseler has again adopted a new schedule, of prices whereby shaves are advanced from 10 cents to 15 -cents, with a neck thrown in. The customer can take the neck shave or leave it, as he chooses, but he must dough up 15 cents for the shave.. The schedule adopted is higheif than that of any town we know of and higher than most of the best shops in the cities. It will probably result in seriously maiming the goose that laid the golden egg and create a boom in the trade of razor dealers. Many people will not stand for this extortion. They were already getting 25 cents for haircuts and 10 cents for shaves, with 5 cents extra for a neck shave, if wanted.
