Here is one that came my way from the year 1915. Yotke's Barber Shop was located on SW 2nd & Ankeny. This guy was getting his hair cut 94 years ago in Stumptown by Mr. Yotke.

I'm 62,I'd love a hot towel shave with a straight razor.
Go to the library at the Oregon Historical Society (top floor ) across the street from the Oregonian on Broadway....Give them the street, they will give you ALL the photos taken of that block. You will find your Grand Dads Shop there.

Trying to find my grandfather's shop -- might have been a similar time period. It was at 800 Stark Street (downtown). Looking for photos.
