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 



lAFA- 





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.
