Way back in the ages a }barber was a doctor as well asa beard trim mer and haircut ter, Blood-letting was the “cure-all” of the day, and the patient whose arm was tapped for blood kept the arm tense dur- ing the operation by hanging onto a pole, This pole, when not other wise in use, was wound round spirally with bandages of white cloth and placed in the barber's window as a sign of his blood-let- ting trade. Finally a red pole striped with white was substituted for the real pole. The barber lost his occupation as a doctor, but the colored pole, w nor was a barber tri-colored stick sign.
