Charley Gramlich the Admirable Barber of First Ward
Charley Gramlich, aged veteran barber with fifty six years behind him, runs a shop at 1505 Mifflin Street and paints in the afternoons. He is known as the champion penuchle player of the First ward and has served notable patrons such as Dr. Charles Gessler and Samuel Campbell for decades. He recalls early barbering days at Hertzog’s shop, wages rising from 75 cents to three dollars a week, and a Continental Hotel position with a 15 percent commission on shop goods. He plans to keep working, possibly move to the country, and jokes about finding good penable players in a suburb.
