(HIS book is expressly written for the Bar-,/bers. It is based on.the assumption, thatTevery mechanic in the Tonsorial Art. has a

right to all the knowledge he is capable of ac-quiring on all subjects, appertaining to histrade. The book aims therefore, t populariseand inform to the many, what has been claimedas belonging only to the few. It has been agreat neglected part among the Barbers andHair Dressers, in not learning at least a partof chemistry, appertaining to their trade.

I do not hesitate to say. that my sympathiesas a man. are with the great masses.

In accordance with the design of. the work,it has been written in plain english, and broughtwithin the comprehension of all who havemedium power of mind to learn the art of manu-facturing everything necessary in the TonsorialArt.

wSECOND PREFACE.

iHE Manual or Self Instructor was writteny in the belief that the Barbers where ready

and waiting- for a popular chemical work, basedon liberal principles, and that over one thou-sand copies, in all parts of the United States,have found a welcome home, is a sufficientevidence, that the belief was well founded.Many persons assuring the author that one

hundred dollars would be no temptation forthem to part with the copy they have, if theycould not obtain another.With these and some smaller additions

and improvements, I think I may call themsubmit the work again to the popular judgment.

GENERAL INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.Progress | Tonsorial Art.

5|IT is a science and involves principles andSI art, as it consists of rules for practice.Asa profession, does not yet embrace large

numbers of men, who are alike ornaments tothe race, and lights of their profession. I amsorry to be obliged to add, that a great bodyof the profession does very little care, whetherthey require more talent or not. And it is amistaken idea with that class of men, thinkingthat their profession can not be advanced bytalent.

In this book of instructions, I have intro-duced for practice, the easiest recipes firstand should be practiced to perfection beforetrying airy other, as it will enable the beginnerto execute all others. After the first is per-fected, a new beginner should be particular inmixing the chemicals correctly, and carry outall the particulars in each recipe seperately,and be extra particular in having clean bottlesfor mixing the Ingredients.

For further particulars see the recipes..J

'efore using- this dye it is necessary tofree the hair from greage by wasliiDg it

with Soda and Water. The hair must bequite dry before applying the dye. It has comemany times to my notice that barbers dyingthe beard after the No. 1 is on would dip thecomb or brush on the part they wish to color,and thinking that the comb or brush have moredye on it put the same on different parts ofthe beard where the No. 1 is on, then dip theirbrush in the dye again to proceed to put thegood dye over that which had no value. Wewill here now take a mustache to color, followmy rule, and you will see it will never fail togive you i\ nice color. After your No. 1 is ondip your comb in the dye, then measure offwith the amount of dye on your comb or brushabout the space you can take on the beard ;after that dip your brush or comb in dye againand take another space until you have covered

After 3^011 haveapplied the water you can wash it well withsoap. The soap being of a fatty nature andcoming in contact with a delicate skin wouldmake the dye adhere to skin, and it is a pain-ful operation to get dye over the skin.

HAIR RESTORATIVE.

|f hope that yon will gain confidence in me91 by the many valuable Recipes in this little '. _ *book. I take the liberty in introducing oneof the finest Hair Restoratives that have everbeen invented for restoring- gray or faded hairto its natural color. It is warranted in everycase to restore the color of gray or faded hairin ten applications. It does not soil the scalpor make the hair greasy or sticky, but it im-parts a beautiful lustre to the hair, and is thecleanest and the best Hair Restorative everused.

It is entirely harmless and free from cheapimpure ingredients that render many other pre-parations injurious. It is so finely perfumedand carefully prepared as to make it a toiletindispensable to those who once used it. Itwill give the hair the health of youth, and willmake it soft and bright as if oiled.

one or more barber chairs.The first step you will take is your choice

in barber chairs. On account of not beingmade in small towns it will be necessary to getcatalogue and price list from different manu-facturers, or go to your furniture dealer inyour town that you have confidence in, andtell him to get yon different patterns and netprices on barber chairs.

LOOKING GLASaipaThe next step will be to get your looking

glasses. If you are in so small a town, thatcan not afford a store which keeps them forsale, it will pay you to go to the next largercity to buy them.

I will give you three sizes, either of themwill make a good glass, viz.

18X40, 20X45, 20X48.These plates are the regular sizes in German

plates.If you need three glasses and buy them as

instructed, j^ou will save at least three dollarson each, figuring the prices the barber's supplydealer would charge you.

dollars or more on each, figuring the price thebarber supply dealer would charge you. Ifyou desire wooden brackets go to a goodcarpenter or cabinet maker and order themwith one large drawer on the bottom and twodrawers on top. You will save at least threedollars on each.

Then go to your plumber andmake bargain with him for making your con-nections.You will save at least twenty dollars and

have a better wash stand than the barber'ssupply dealer will send you. The above standwill at the most cost you about $25.00. Theregular price they sell them for is from $4^.00to $50.00.

If you desire a standunderneath, order similar to wash stand withdoors in it. It will save you $10 to $12, andy< m will have a better cup case than you willset from the dealer.

==^BARBER P0LES.=#=Your carpenter will make you any kind of a

pole that you may order by him.The following makes a very line design for

a barber poleBase 4 inches wide ; box 2 feet 6 inches ;

pole 6 feet o inches high. Have your boxmade of 1^ inch well seasoned timber andheavy standling inside to make it solid.The above pole will cost you at the most.

.1. FALKE'S SELF tNSTRUCTOR. ?/m|A Y instructions to you in regard how to fixjl-.up a barber shop yourself may be a

little hard for you to understand at first,but if you will study it over and work accord-ing to instructions given you, you will findafter it is completed that it has more thandouble paid you for your work. And the nexttime you want to fix up a place, you will bemaster of it. There is no town so small thathas not a carpenter or a cabinet maker or amarble cutter or a furniture store that sellsmirrors. And should yon be in a town thathas neither of that class of men. it will bemuch cheaper for yen to go to the next largercity, and order it as you want it, than to sendtwo or three hundred miles and pay heavy ex-press charges for goods you have ordered by thebarber's supply dealers, and in most casesyou have to pay on the goods before they aresent to you. And if these same goods orderedby the dealer do not suit you, you have no re-dress, but to take what they please to send you.Be independent of them; you can do as wellas they can, they order the same goods br-others, and so can you.
