Scope and content
The Elks Club at 565 Broadway was a full service club with its own barbershop. In this photograph from 1948, Exalted Ruler Cecil Walrath gets a haircut and shave with both giant scissors and a giant straight edge razor. The man holding the scissors is Swan Johnson; the one with a razor may be Harold R. Johnson, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Elks. Mr. Walrath doesn't seem too worried as he continues to read his Esquire magazine.
