Glasser’s first week in Carrolltown netted him only $1.50, which wasn’t enough to pay for his room and board. However he was the only barber in the little town of 400 inhabitants and they induced him to stay. The second week he made $2.50 and this time de- cided definitely to leave. However, a customer named Billy Noel offered to board Glasser for $4.00 a month if he would build four stove fires, feed and milk the cow, tend the horse and do other chores of the farm, By accepting the offer he cast the die that kept him as a Carrolltown bar- ber for the rest of his life. Some time later another customer, Dr. Oatman, told him to do the same chores at his | home and he would not have to pay any board. To keep the peace young Glasser did the work for both men. He was especially popular in these early days because he played the gui- tar and the violin and he was heavily in demand for barn dances. Other odd jobs included paper hanging and jobs | in breweries. Oddly enough the first Carrolltown “man whose hair he cut was named Glass and the second Beer. Years la- i ter an Altoona writer composed a po- | em based on this unusual coincidence, Otto Glasser believes he is Penn- sylvania’s oldest and longest practic- | ing barber.
