BARBER AND HAIR-DRESSER.
TEMPLE OF FASHION, No. 1, EIGHTH ST. NEAR PENN. AVENUE.
E. McCUBBIN returns his grateful acknowledgments to his friends, and begs leave to inform them that he still continues involved in barberism ! To those who will give countenance to his operations, he promises the very luxuries of his art. He will " smooth the wrinkled face of care," and disencumber the temple of the soul of its superfluous adornments. He has a spice of chivalry in his consti- tution, and will take by the nose any one who has the courage to obtrude that facial appendage within the sanctity of his studio. In short, in the way of his vocation, he would
" Beard the lion in his den, The Douglass in his hall."
In order to be appreciated, he must be seen and felt.
He begs leave to state that he has secured the services of that well known and finished operator in the art, James Jefferson ; and he continues the old prices-Hair-dressing, 12g cents ; Shaving 6; cents.
