The "Fulton Market" Hair Cut in A Maker of Relief Maps Who Has

Your Own Home Few Competitors

��HAVE you ever heard of the "Fulton Market" haircut? After the barber has trimmed your back hair as closely as he can with the shears, he strops his razor and proceeds to shave your neck, as if he suspected you of a desire to grow whisk- ers where they ought not to be. The re- sult is so pleasing to the eye of the New York 'longshoreman and the Western cow- puncher that the shaved neck has its vogue among those who hold Fifth Avenue and its foppish ways in contempt. Even if you survive the loss of blood caused by incidental gashes you may be tem- porarily or permanently disfigured. The artistic success also is questionable.

To supply the wants of neck-shavers, Mr. William C. Bridges of Muscatine, la., has invented a device to make shaving one's own neck a harmless operation. An ad- justable band which encircles the head is connected by a curved and rigid finger exten- sion with the guard proper. This pro- tective part of the device consists of an adjustable ar- rangement of curved strips of metal or someother material, held to- gether by pins moving in slots. To give the guard a firmer support it is supplied at its ends with ear rests covered with rub- ber sheaths.

���No danger in shaving your neck with this well-contrived device

�� ��THERE are only a few men in this country who devote their time to the making of relief maps. One of the most noted makers of such maps is Fred Burgie, a French Swiss, who learned the art from his father, Pro- fessor Joseph Burgie, for- merly a famous European maker of relief maps. More than forty years ago. Prof. Burgie, accompanied by his son, Fred, went to Palestine and made a careful survey of the Holy Land. He gathered valuable data concern- ing many points of im- portance in history and tradition and used them after his return, when he made a relief map of Palestine.

Fred Burgie followed in his father's footsteps and became the most renowned maker of relief maps in the United States. In his little shop in Rochester, N. Y., he has made a large map of Palestine, now at Crystal Pal- ace, London, and a smaller replica of that map for the National Museum in Washington.
