In front of Charles Woolcott's Ice Cream and candy store. The year was 1913. These 8 Milan business men all got their heads shaved, then saved the occasion with a photographer.  Was it a dare?  A bet? 

Left to right, front row, Thurlow Sanford, Ralph Robinson, Roy Haggerman, Harry Harmon. Back row: Arza VanWormer, Ty Woolcott, Mr.Scoland and Norm Eighme. 

The annoying kid on the right is unknown. He is standing in front of an advertisement for Mailpouch tobacco.
