This week in 1947 a barber made $79.50

A antique friend picked this up for me to display in my case at home. Its a barbers journal from 1947. It looks like most weeks he would average around $80 with his low at $ and his high at $130. It looks like he was either closed or didn't work on Sundays. Just thought I'd share this everyone. Thanks for looking.

Not too shabby at $823.24 in 2012! That is quite interesting to see, thanks for posting.

Until recently Barbers did no work on Sunday or Monday. I see he has Monday filled in but I could never get a haircut on a Monday from a real barbershop until the last 15 years or so.

Back then that wasn't a bad weekly wage.
