• Notes

  EDWARD PFAFF. Though Mr. Edward Pfaff may not as he puts it "do so much of it" the patrons of his barber shop can get anything in the tonsorial line that they can get anywhere else. This means that he has a thoroughly up-to-date barber shop in every respect and that it has all the facilities afforded by larger shops in larger towns. It is a three-chair shop and the leader in New Hamburg. Mr. Pfaff has been over seven years in business and is largely patronized, he and an assistant being kept busy. He keeps his shop scrupulously neat and gives close attention to business. He is well liked personally, a factor which draws trade no less than his good work. He carries a good line of tobaccos and cigars.
