Description
Stoelker's patent "relates to a new apparatus, which is to be set up in barber-shops, with an object of economizing tins and labor, and preventing waste of material. This invention consists chiefly in the arrangement of vessels for holding the necessary liquids which are used for shaving, hair-dressing, and similar purposes. These vessels, are so constructed, by having openings in their bottoms, and valves for closing the same, that the contents can be poured out in the desired quantities without disturbing the vessels."
