Clint Kenyon and Floyd Parrish in the shop at 310 Main Street. Kenyon was a Manning barber from 1889 until the early 1940's. Central Barber Shop Clint C. Kenyon learned the barber trade in the Central Barber Shop, owned by J. Arthur Sexton from 1889 until 1895. Kenyon then bought the shop, which was moved in 1897 to 310 Main Street, where Dr. Myer's office is now; it contained five chairs, four shower baths, a tub bath, and a laundry. Kenyon continued to barber here until the early 1940s when he sold the shop to Al Starek, an employee. Partners of Kenyon had been Floyd Parrish, Ralph Walker and Harry Stutzman. Joseph Stein later bought in with Starek, after serving as a barber in the Navy and locating briefly in Portsmouth. When a fire destroyed their shop, Stein continued barbering, locating in part of what is now the Louck's Apartments at the north end of Main Street. In the late 1950s, Stein moved to the basement shop once operated by Roy Cole; Stein retired from the business in 1969.
