This Barber Shop represents a small town Kansas Barber Shop at the turn-of-the-century. The Barber Shop was not only a place to get a haircut, but a shave and bath as well. The Barber Shop was a popular gathering place for men waiting for their turn in the chair. The regular customers had their own shaving mug at the Barber Shop. During that time, many Barber Shops performed medical treatment. The red stripe on the barber pole symbolizes blood, while the white stripe symbolizes bandages.
