News Articles 1939 Hunter Times January 5, 1939 Joe Baldock Installs X-er-Vac Restores and Preserves the Hair “Yes sir,“ ladies and gents! Joe Baldock has the greatest invention since the Wright brothers proved that men could fly, horseless buggies became a reality, the radio came and opened a new world of beauty and knowledge, moving pictures talked, wireless saved many a ship at sea. The Crosley X-er-Vac newest hair restoring machine now in service at the Hunter barber shop is the latest. It will scientifically stimulate and aid the growth of hair and develops a healthy condition of the scalp by increasing the blood circulation in the deep tissues of the scalp. Joe does not claim that the machine will make hair grow on a billiard ball as was advertised by the traveling medicine salesman. It will make hair grow where hair grow where hair never grew before. The Crosley X-er-Vac employs the principle of alternating vacuum and pressure to induce circulation. It makes the extremity feel like an old accordion for a few minutes but like a blooming tulip after a few treatments. Come in and see it, Joe says.
