ARE HAIRDRESSERS WEAKLINGS? (Feb, 1937)

“when my muscles hardened, I began to enjoy the rough good fellowship of the other men in the gym” … and now he poses for magazines wearing a g-string. Why would anyone think hairdressers were gay, erm I mean weaklings.

ARE HAIRDRESSERS WEAKLINGS?

By Gasper Puglisi

I AM a ladies’ hairdresser employed by one of the leading Fifth Avenue shops in New York City, a position that brings me in contact with the best people from society, stage, and screen. My position requires me to stand a good part of the day and above all to maintain a cheerful attitude at all times.

About a year ago last fall, and at various times previously, fits of mental depression came over me. I became morbid, grouchy and felt ten years older than I was and I commenced to look it. I also began to develop an inferiority complex. I had no confidence when I spoke to my customers because I seemed to feel that life had cheated me out of a robust, healthy body. I used to dread the winter because I caught cold frequently due to my low resistance. These colds and complications robbed me of the necessary vitality needed to maintain a natural cheery attitude.

Rock-A-By Razor (Apr, 1948)

Rock-A-By Razor

This nonelectric razor gives you a dry shave when you hold it against the skin and rock it gently back and forth. Its two blades, explains the British manufacturer, cut the whiskers by a scissors movement. At the same time the guard sharpens the blades, and is said to give them a life of several years. The blades, moving in a half circle, crop the beard bristles that project through the perforated guard shown above.

Glasses Eliminate Headlight Glare

Complete comfort and safety are promised to the night automobile driver who will wear a new type of eyeshade. Colored material above the eyes blocks out the glare of approaching headlights at a distance and as the bright headlights approach, shields at the driver’s left block out the glare from that direction.
