Albany men too busy for makeup
“Albany is a man’s town a 100 per cent masculine Burg. There are no lounge lizards, no whiskered vampirinos here.
This has been proved by an investigation made to-day by a reporter for the Times-Union, who visited all of the beautifying parlors and the “make-up” shops. Other cities may stand for this sort of thing, and some of them do, but this grand old Dutch burg won’t have it.
