Bryan hair trims tale ends in barber chair
An anecdote about William Jennings Bryan during a speaking tour in the east recounts how a barber suggested trimming to avoid ears appearing prominent. Bryan explains his preference to keep his hair styled to hide or shape his distinctive ears and nose, linking past hair choices to personal resolve. The piece closes with an ad for Dr King’s New Life Pills.
