Title
Grand Opening of Wess's Barbershop
Description
Black and white image showing a crowd gathered outside of a small barbershop with a popcorn stand and a surfeit of advertising and bunting flags. Several men in suits and a law enforcement officer stand to one side, while a small boy in full cowboy gear stands on the sidewalk staring at the camera. The crowd consists mostly of children, with a few other adults looking on. Opened on SW Baseline in 1960 by proprietor Wess Hebron, Wess's Barber Shop was a familiar landmark for many years in Hillsboro. See WCMpic_013806, WCMpic_013808, and WCMpic_013809 for other images of the exterior of this shop, and WCMpic_013810, WCMpic_013811, and WCMpic_013812 for views of the interior.
