and conduct a sort of dispensary.
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-

Otto Glasser believes he is Penn-
sylvania’s oldest and longest practic-
