Long May it Wave

LONG MAY IT WAVE:

WORLD’S FAIR, N.Y., OCT. -10-1940: Dedicated to the undying memory of Christopher Columbus, this fetching coiffeur with a model of the Great Discoverer’s flagship was created yesterday by Madame Marguerite Peerboem, of Palmors and Son, Limited, Montreal, and exhibited on the head of Judith Wister, before delegates to the International Master Ladies Hairdressers’ Association convention, meeting this week in the New York World’s Fair Assembly Hall.

This ensemble of wavy locks and sailing frigate might just as well be called the “Britannia Rules the Waves” coiffeur, but the Association decided to rename it in honor of Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day which falls on October 12, Saturday. – 21489
