Haircutting at 2½d.
Sir, —In reply to “Dad’s” outburst in the tonsorial art controversy: He is off his beat, so I think these few remarks will be in order. If “Dad” will muster 99 of his cobbers any day in 1935 and have them penned for me at 8 a.m. one morning I will shear them at 24d. each, and that will include the usual service which a sheep does not get. And his second question: A eemi-baid man is the hardest to do, as he expects the barber to be awizard and camouflage the bald spot. The semi-bald man in his youth might have been a double fleecer on many occasions, and therefore had double, bis money’s worth then, so that makes it 5050. As “Strewelpeter” has taken the roie of George Bernard Shaw, will be tell me what he criticised in the other countries he has been, as that seems to be his hobbv? —I am, etc., TONSORIAL ARTIST. Wellington.
