Barber Shop Group

Notes:

Group gathered in front of a Barber Shop, circa 1913, on North Huron Street (probably at 24 1/2 North Huron). The inscription identifies it as Coutez R. Hall's Barber Shop but it is also possible it is William Hipp's, long at that location. The gentlemen are, from left to right, Watson Laidlaw, Ralph Smith (listed in 1912 city directory as a clerk that boarded at 24 E. Congress), Wesley M. Dawson(1890-1964) who was a partner in Martin Dawson Company and later Ypsilanti Postmaster, Courtez R. Hall, Samuel Spring, James Tweedie (listed in1912 city directory as a barber at William Hipp's Barber Shop and boarding at 108 Buffalo, Hipp's residence) and an older man not identified (perhaps Hipp).
