Barbers

The first barber in Plaster Rock was a gentleman named Frank Johnston. Then along came Samuel Campbell in 1915, who had the first upstairs barber shop. In addition to setting out his spiral red and white striped barber pole, Mr. Campbell stocked the shelves with candy and light groceries. He also had tubs of ice cream and labeled it Campbell's Ice Cream Parlor. A man named William Parsons moved to Plaster Rock to receive his apprenticeship under Mr. Campbell and his son Carl Parsons now operates a present day barber shop.
