Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 August 1883 — WOMEN BARBERS AND “GUN-LOCKS.” [ARTICLE]

WOMEN BARBERS AND “ GUN-LOCKS.”

“I should like to see aPwoman get hold of an old “gun-lock” from Boston or Philadelphia. There would be trouble right away.” “What do you mean by ‘gun-lock?’" “Oh, that is a technical term we apply to wire-bearded old men from out of town. I don’t know why, but the term is used here, and we all try to fight shy of them. No, women will never be popular with a razor. They may do to attend to smooth-faced dudes, but a man with muoh of a growth of beard will not try them more than once. ” —Envious Man Barber, in Chicago News.
