MR. CLIP'S APPEAL.

[The Hairdressers' Early Closing Association of London (whose Central Office is at 6, Swallow Street, Piccadilly, W., and whose President is Mr. W.J. REED, and Hon. Sec., Mr. A.M. SUTTON), has for object "to secure and maintain one early-closing day per week, suitable to the neighbourhood, and to generally assist in obtaining time for rest and recreation, and promote better and healthier conditions for hairdressers.">[

Dear BOB,—There's a stir in our noble Profession.

The hope of the Hairdresser, silent so long,

At last, like most others, is finding expression.

We've started, dear BOB, and are now going strong.

Early Closing's our object, which means that on one day

We want to shut up shops and scissors at five!
