Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) World, January 11, 1895, p. 1. "YOUR TURN NEXT" Men Who Have Been Shavers Since They Were Little Shavers Above all others, the barbers keep in "close touch" with the public. H. V. Eagleson began touching the public in St. Louis in 1863. For several years he barbered on the steamers "Magnolia," "Great Republic," "Edward Walch" and "Henry Ames" running between St. Louis and the gulf on the Mississippi River. He next worked at his trade on the steamers of the Memphis and St. Louis Packet Line. Then on the upper Mississippi between St. Louis and St. Paul on the steamers "Keesburgh" and "Dubuque" and then on the packet from St. Louis to Little Rock, Arkansas. After his steamboat work, Mr. Eagleson worked in the shop of the Metropolitan Hotel at St. Paul, in Jim Brown's Gentlemen's Parlors in Dubuque and for his father in Dubuque and Keokuk, Iowa. He next owned and operated shops in Booneville, Missouri, Ft. Scott, Kansas, at the Wilder House and Gilcris Hotel in East St. Louis, Illinois, and at the Alton House in Alton, Illinois. After varied experiences as a proprietor, Mr. Eagleson went to work in the tonsorial parlors of the Southern Hotel at St. Louis. While there he shaved King Calico, the last king of the Hawaiian Islands, while on a visit to the United States, and after shaved the Grand Duke Alexander of Russia. After leaving St. Louis he went to Mitchell in 1892 and was the proprietor of the first modern barber shop in that little village. Then he moved here and there through many towns and cities and finally settled in Bloomington where he is the senior member of Eagleson & Mason of the Charter Oak barber shop. Badger Silence, the champion whisk broom manipulator, can play several tunes with his long "dust killer" and prides himself on the way he can make a fellow dodge when he starts after him with it. At Hartman & May's shop on the east side of the square is to be found the genial Johnny Hartman who has been a favorite with the shaving public for so long. Mr. Hartman learned his trade in Bloomington and has for fifteen years worked at it successfully in this city. Mr. May began his career as a barber in Harrodsburg about ten years ago and has worked in that capacity in that city and this ever since. Several months ago partnership began between Hartman and May. Thomas Smith is their assistant. About sixteen years ago Eph Hughes bought out the barber shop owned by Mike Smith and Eph. Ashley on the north side of the square and has been 'in the push" ever since. For about fifteen years he occupied a room on the south side of the square. Mr. Hughes' assistants are Charles Simms and Grant Bailey, both barbers of skill and experience. Otto Miller is the obliging little utility man and dust brook shaker at this establishment. William Prophet learned his trade in Spencer 20 years ago. Before coming to Bloomington he worked in Terre Haute and Gosport. On his arrival in this city he started in business for himself. Mr. Prophet is assisted by Messrs. P. D. Evans who has worked at the trade for seven years and George Campbell who has been a barber for 13 years. Ben Bass has probably been a barber longer than any other man in the city. He began work in Sullivan and before coming to Bloomington worked in Spencer and Indianapolis. After coming to Bloomington he worked in one room on the levy for over 16 years. Mr. Bass now has a shop next to the room recently occupied by William Leas as a tin shop. Gus Krueger is the proprietor of the tonsorial parlor known as the National Barber Shop in Ryors' block. Fred Fuller is Mr. Krueger's assistant and, although he has only worked at the trade for a year, he shows a great deal of ability and is becoming deservedly popular. The latest shop in the city is in the new Allen block and was purchased last week by Charles Routte from James Lane. Mr. Routte employs James Lane who learned his trade in Bloomington nine years ago and has worked at it ever since in this city. Harley Anderson, who learned his trade here eight years ago, but has spent most of his time in Chicago, Louisville and Indianapolis since then, and Morton Barton who has been a barber for two years, having spent most of his time in Washington, Indiana. With all of these tonsorial parlors in our city, the male portion of our population should make a wonderfully fine appearance as regards their faces and hair and, to tell the actual truth, they do.
