Longtime Starkweather Barber Doubles Haircut Price to One Dollar
In Starkweather North Dakota Martin Skrede 81 has raised his haircut price to one dollar after 64 years of barbering arriving in 1913 from Norway at age 17. He once charged 50 cents for a haircut and 25 cents for a shave adjusting through the Depression to 25 cents in the 1930s. He restored six bit full service in the 1940s and held it for decades. He no longer offers shaves. During World War II Skrede gave free haircuts and shaves to about 60 soldiers and his wife May helped with weekly laundry at no charge. He recalls barbershops as social hubs in small towns. The piece also notes the wild hyacinth origin.
