Evelyn Ryberg Crammer first had her shop in the
second floor of the Rober-Wehrmann Store, later moving it into her home at 316 Ann. Permanents had not yet come into being, so Evelyn gave many "marcels". The marcel was invented at the turn of the century by Marcel Grateau. He was immortalized by American beauties with his Gibson Girl image, such as popularized by Lillian Russell. The marcel continued for a quarter of a century. |
| Mrs. Elsie Jackson opened the Manning Beauty Parlor in December, 1928. Her shop was located over the Rober-Wehrmann Store, and assistant operators were hired to give the best of service to patrons. Permanents, marcels, haircuts and fingerwaving were featured. |
