Biographical sketch
***********************************************
Gilbert, a small equipment operator for the Bank of Virginia and R. L. Persinger, is part owner of a shoe-repair business, and the present owner and operator of Bryan's Barbershop. Raymond (Tojo) Brown assists Gilbert in the operation of the small but thriving enterprise. Gilbert has maintained the family tradition of practicing the barber trade and assuming leadership of church, civic, and community affairs. He is Senior Warden in the Masonic Lodge, an active member of the Y's Men Club, Deacon of Oldtown Lodge.
Gilbert has seen many changes in the barber trade. He recalls his grandfather's stories of customers sitting in straight-back chairs for a shave (5 cents) or a haircut (10 cents), heating water in a pan on a potbellied stove, and using a feather duster for removing loose hair from the customer's neck.
