Did you ever wonder why some barber shops have a red, white, and blue cylindrical sign/tube outside their shops? Years before, they weren’t only barbers, they were often known as Barber Surgeons and they had the ability to perform small tests and surgeries such as bloodletting. The sign let everyone know that the barber(s), were qualified to help medically.
Like a lot of things, the origins to the sign has pretty much dwindled to obscurity probably even with some modern-day barbers who use the sign. With this new knowledge you're free to get out there and make a positive difference in this world of ours. Godspeed! 😊
