Once upon a time Stoney's was Smith's Barbershop

One of Bluffton's many barbers, here's Dick Smith cutting BHS student James Swank. This is an advertisement in the 1959 Bluffton High School yearbook. Today this is Stoney's Barbershop, below Bluffton Karate Center.
We really like the cash register.

(Thanks for the correction, Sam. Ray Johnson was my barber. I never went to Smitties.)
