EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the essence of small-town America in the early 20th century. The image showcases a quaint barber shop in Williston, North Dakota, with its iconic striped pole standing proudly outside. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee in November 1937, this snapshot offers a glimpse into a time when barbershops were not just places for haircuts but also social hubs where locals gathered to exchange stories and catch up on community news. The simplicity of the exterior is striking - a grand stairway leading up to the entrance adds an air of elegance to this humble establishment. The striped pole, synonymous with barbershops worldwide, stands tall against the backdrop of North Dakota's vast landscape. Its vibrant colors serve as an invitation for passersby seeking grooming services. Russell Lee's keen eye captures every detail meticulously, from the crisp lines of the stripe pattern to the weathered facade that tells tales of countless customers served over time. This photograph evokes nostalgia and reminds us of simpler times when personal connections mattered most. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand, this piece transports viewers back to 1937 America while honoring an essential business that has stood as a pillar within communities throughout history.
