The barber business in Germany is far different from what it is in the American country. There every one does not go to the barber shop when he wants to be shaved. The best barbers have, of course, a regular custom at the shops, but they also have three or four employes whose business it is to attend to the outside trade; that is, they go around from house to house and attend to the wants of certain customers. This class of customers have their own cups and razors, and are waited on at such times as best suits their convenience. They are the aristocrats, and would no more think of going in and taking a chair in a barber shop and waiting their turn than they would of blacking their own shoes. These men generally pay from eight to ten dollars per year for the service rendered them.
