A Real Hair Raising Model
I would like to congratulate you and Mrs. [sic] Moore for that article in the Mar. [sic] ’65 RMC on the Tonsorial Parlor. Noting the period, I wonder how E. L. Could have omitted the most important thing in the whole structure: the spittoon, which would add class to the model. Turned out of wood or simulated from jewelry or electrical bits, they are easy to model. Without at least one, the place would be too unsanitary.

Ugh, Ed.
That letter to the editor appeared in the July 1965 of Railroad Model Craftsman. Apparently ELM may have forgotten an important Tonsorial Parlor detail :-)
And yes, the printed letter did refer to ELM as Mrs. And yes, the Tonsorial Parlor story appeared in the April issue, not March. Were these just typesetting mistakes? We’ll never know.
