John
C. Seager's modern barbershop and bathrooms, are the finest in this part of the
state, and must be seen to be appreciated. Mr. Seager invites many friends and
patrons to call at his place of business, No. 108 Main Street, where he will be pleased to
show them his new tonsorial parlors. WDT

Mayor Charles Mulberger was without question
Watertown’s most flamboyant mayor, a very popular executive. He had a law degree but never practiced law. He would come down to the business section
every morning around 10 o’clock, go to the old Seager Barber Shop for his daily shave and a trim, then walk over
to a floral shop and buy a fresh carnation which he wore each day in his
bottonhole, then make the rounds of downtown business places, including the old
Deutsches Dorf which was then the
gathering place for many Watertown business men and executives. It was by far the finest saloon Watertown
ever had and was located at the corner of Main and
Seager Barber Shop
Charles Seager

equipment from Charles Seager, who is retiring due to ill health. The building in which the shop is located is
owned by Mr. Seager. In addition to Mr.
Poole, other barbers in the shop are Richard Nelson and Donald Cowen. WDT
