Frank's Barber, Toy & Hobby Shop

Frank Repp graduated from beauty school in 1947 and received his license in cosmetology. His first job was as a 2nd barber at the Cary Barber Shop (where he always had his own hair cut) and in 1948, moved in with a barber at 111 N. Main St. in Crystal Lake.

Behind the barbershop was an autoparts store until they decided to move, and Frank rented the additional space, moved the barbershop from the front of the building to the rear, and borrowed $5,000 from the bank for this purpose.
