For many years from the 1940's thru the 1960's Earniest (Earnie) Davidson of Beachburg Ontario operated a barber shop/ news stand on the main street of Beachburg, (Beachburg Road), between Ab Stokes Harnes Shop (#1802) and Foster's General Store (#1806). The changing hair styles of the '60's left many small town barbers with time on their hands. In slack times in his barbershop Earnie turned to wood carving . Here he is seen at work with some of his creations on display.
