E trust you will excuse our being a little late with the issue of our Catalogue for 1884, the cause of the delay being due to the moving of our Factory, our entire time and attention having been required in placing machinery and getting things in running order. The increased demand for our Chairs, which have become the recognized STANDARD of this Country, has made it necessary for us to erect a building to be specially devoted to the manufacture of Barbers' Chairs, Furniture and Supplies. In issuing this edition every care has been taken to make it thorough and complete in all its parts, and a standard book of reference for the trade. We have added to our list of Barbers' chairs three new ones, the Windsor and Two Reclining Chairs, one of the latter being automatic in its action. We desire to draw special attention to our Dressing Cases, designed by us for barbers' use ; also to our entirely new line of Mug Cases. Within the past few months we have been fitting up quite a number of shops with elegant Cabinet Cases. We get up these cases in several handsome styles, and for any number of chairs. We also make some beautiful Mirror Cases, rich in ornamentation, and with turned pil- lars. Photographs of these will be cheerfully sent to parties who desire to have them made. We regret that our time is too limited to permit us to have the engravings made for use in this catalogue. We are prepared to give figures and Estimates on any style of Cabinet or Combination Dressing Cases, made by other houses, if you will send us an illustration of same. Our facilities for doing this class of work are unsurpassed ; we can make these cases in cherry or walnut, or, if desired, a combination of hard woods can be employed to suit the taste of each customer. Owing to the increased amount of room, the capacity of all our departments has been increased ; notably, that of our grinding shop, in which we employ the largest force of skilled grinders in this city. We give the same care and attention as formerly to china decorating. Besides our Toilet Preparations, already so well known, we have added a branch for the manufacture of Toilet and shaving soaps. Sweeping reductions in prices have been made in many depart- ments, especially in glassware. It is our intention to move our office and salesroom, on or about October 15th, to the store floor of our factory. Provided with more commodious quarters, it will enable us to display our manufactures to better advantage, thus making selection of goods easier for customers, besides increasing our facilities for shipping goods. It will be our constant aim to retain the confidence of our customers by supplying them with the BEST of goods at the lowest market rates. Gratefully acknowledging past favors, and soliciting your future patronage, we are Respectfully yours, THEO. A. KOCHS. THIS PRICE LIST CANCELS ALL FORMER LISTS AND PRICES. ■^ ^ ■® THEO. A.

A. KOCHS, CHICAGO. KOCHS' BARBERS' CHAIR, No. 9. Pat. Feb. 17. 1880. Front View. Grand and stately in appearance, its graceful outlines suggestive of luxury and comfort, our No. 9 chair stands to-day without a rival. The higli degree of development and skill attained in the various branches of Wood Worlting could nowhere find a more fitting example than is afforded by this chair. It is made of Black Walnut or Cherry; the carving is of the most elaborate description ; the inlaid work is exquisitely designed, the effect produced by the artistic arrangement of the various colored and natural woods being at once effective and charming. This chair can be adjusted to every desired position for shaving or hair cutting. The back view of this chair, which is shown on the opposite page, is also very striking. Among the establishments who have fitted up their shops with these chairs mention may be made of the Ebbitt House, at Washington, D. C, where fourteen of them are in use ; the Plankington House Barber shop at Milwaukee, Wis., where eleven of our No. 9 chairs have been placed, through our agents, Messrs. Ladwig & Schranck ; the Grand Hotel Barber shop, at Cincinnati, Ohio, where we have put in eight of them ; besides this, hotel shops at Council Bluffs, Iowa; Portage, Wis.; Peoria, 111., and numerous other places.

This is a well-constructed, showy-looking chair, having an open back ; it is made of the best material, by the best of workmen and with the same perfection of detail that has won for our chairs a wide-spread reputation. The frame is made of solid Black Walnut, finished in oil, and is ornamented with veneered panels ; finelj' carved elephant heads adorn the arms. The machinery, which is strong and durable, is similar to that used on our Eureka chair, except that it is attached to both sides of the chair ; a slight pressure on the pedal at the rear permits the chair to be adjusted to all the necessary positions for shaving and hair cutting. The foot-stool is provided with an iron platform and cross-bar, neatly japanned. PRICE: Covered with Mohair Plush, in Green, Maroon or Crimson, or with Moquette $35.00 ^- -i *- ■* THEO. A.

So popular has this chair become that it has taxed our capacity to its utmost to keep pace with the demand for them. It is made of solid black vralnut ; the platform and cross-bar of the foot-stool are covered with sheet brass, studded with brasa nails.

The object in view when designing this chair was to make a very durable, cheap chair, and, though a handsome chair in appearance, dura- bility was intended as its chief merit. The exterior is not elaborate, on account of the very low price at which it is sold. It is adjustable to any desired position for shaving or hair cutting. PRICE.

KOCHS' MODERN RECLINING BARBERS' CHAIR, No. Covered by our Patents of Feb. 17, 1880. Frequent and repeated inquiry for a good Reclining Barbers' Chair has induced us to bring out this chair. It is the result of long and careful study, as to the particular wants of the trade, and is put upon the market with the conviction that it is just such a chair as has long been demanded. Its shape, as will readily be seen, is an improvement over all other re- clining chairs made, the outlines being natural and pleasing. Another improvement is the strong front and rear brace, which we have introduced in the lower frame, and which strengthens it materially. A distinctive feature is the simple mechanism for placing and re- taining the chair in any desired position. The nicety with which the different parts are bal- anced and their entire freedom from friction, permits this chair to be adjusted from an upright to a perfectly horizontal position, by a light pressure upon the foot pedal at the rear. Securely attached to the upper part of this chair, on either side, is a strong ornamental iron plate, the same being pivoted to the lower frame. This construction permits the back to be easily removed, and allows the chair to be shipped in a small box. We make this chair in black walnut, engraved with gilt lines ; the foot rest is covered with sheet brass and can be adjusted to suit the length of legs of different persons. PRICE. Upholstered in carpet, with bronze trimmings $25,00 " in best plush, green, maroon or crimson, with nickel-plated trimmings. . . 35.00 S 15 *- THEO. A. KOCHS, CHICAGO.

CLOUGH'S AUTOMATIC RECLINING BARBERS' CHAIR. Manufactured solely by Theo. A. Kochs, under Patents of June 15, 1880. This chair is the invention of Mr. Joseph Clough, a barber at Providence, R. I. Mr. Clough is very ingenious, and a man of practical ideas. His chair was brought to our notice by one of our agents, while on an eastern trip, and so impressed were we with its mechanical merits that negotiations were entered into by which we have acquired the sole and exclusive right to manufacture these chairs, four hundred (400) of which are already in use. It is simple and substantial in its construction, and not liable to get out of order. It is called automatic because the occupant can adjust the chair to its different positions ; it can also be operated by the workman, by moving the foot-rest up or down with his hand or foot. It is limited to two positions, viz., for hair cutting and shaving. In either position it is firmly locked and held by springs under the seat. The above engraving shows the position for hair cutting, the position for shaving being illustrated on the opposite page. The frame of this chair is made of black walnut, strongly bolted and screwed to an iron frame under the seat. The automatic foot rest, described on page 21, is of brass. The seat, back and leg-rest are cov- ered with cane, making a very cool and comfortable chair, particularly adapted to warm climates. Price, $28.00. *- -® *- * THEO. A. KOCHS, CHICAGO. 21 CLOUGH'S AUTOMATIC RECLINING BARBERS' CHAIR. Manufactured solely by Theo. A. Kochs, under Patents of June 15, 1880. RECLINING POSITION. The above illustration shows the Automatic Reclining Barbers' Chair, in position for shaving. To change from the upright to the reclining position the occupant has but to raise the brass foot-rest vpith his foot, when the chair immediately takes the desired position. In doing this, the leg rest raises, the seat slides smootlily forward in a groove, about three inches, and the back, which is pivoted, recedes. After shaving, the customer raises up and leans for- ward, when the chair resumes its first position. All of this is accomplished without the slightest noise or jar. The rod forming the pivot, on which the foot rest is hinged, is sur- rounded with two spiral springs ; the action of these springs hold the foot-rest against the leg rest (see illustration on opposite page). The crossbar can then be reached by a person with very short legs, and can be pushed into any desired position against the resistant pres- sure of the springs, to the length of the legs of any person. The above illustration shows the foot-rest as it appears when pressed downward. *- *■ 22 THEO. A. KOCHS, CHICAGO. -^ BARBER CHAIR MACHINERY. EUREKA MACHmERY. The machinery used on our Eureka Chairs, as shown in illustration, is simple, yet strong and durable. It' permits the chair to be adjusted to any position, where it is firmly and immovably held. Covered by patents of Feb. 19, 1880. KOCHS' IMPROVED HEAD-REST ATTACHMENT. It is put on the chair in such a manner as to leave no portion of it in view except a small silver - plated button under the Head-Rest, which, if pressed upon, will allow the Head- Rest to slide down. Its advantages over the old style which are used on all other chairs are as follows : 1st. It cannot break. 2d. The spring cannotfall out of place. 3d. The levercannot bend out of shape. 4th. It is not an obstruction. 5th. Itwillnot let the head-rest slip out of position. 6th. It need never be replaced. This arrangement for adjusting Barbers' Chairs has become so well known and has been so universally endorsed by Barbers that there does not now remain any doubt whatever of its superiority over all others. The points pre-eminently in its favor, and upon which its merits are based, may be summed up as follows : 1st. Perfect safety, which is a positive necessity. The chair cannot possibly slip out of place and alarm the occupant, be- cause the machinery forms a perfect lock. 2d. Strength, since the chair is sup- ported at both sides and directly from the back, where the greatest weight rests, thereby overcoming the objection to chairs supported from the front. 3d. Absence of friction, because when the foot lever is pressed down and the wheels become disengaged, the chair moves perfectly free and with the great- est ease. The springs which are now used in this machinery, are made of one-quarter (i) inch round English steel wire, finely tem- pered, and removes all danger of break- *- THEO. A.

For reducing large Razors to smaller size, also for grinding Razors that have been purposely hacked or broken, there will be an extra charge of 10 to 15 cents, considerable time and attention being required for this class of work. We have had occasion already to refer in our description of Factory, (page 5) to our improved methods in grinding Razors. Like in every other branch of industry, improve- ments have been made in this department. Keeping pace with the times,_ we have dis- carded old methods of Grinding, methods which still seem to possess attractions for the old fogies who are striving to retard the march of progress. No further proof of our success in turning out satisfactory work is required, than is evidenced by the steady increase in the amount of Grinding we receive. A visit to this department will only give emphasis to our assertion that we have the largest Grind Shop in this City. BARBERS' SHEARS. THEO. A. KOCHS' STANDARD SHEARS. ^,^^^ ^.^^^^ Handle.

We can speak of the merits of Campbell's Hair Luxuriant from personal experience, and can heartily commend it to those wishing to purchase a first-class article. Campbell's Hair Luxuriant is no restorer and will not change the color of the Hair ; it is guaranteed to be entirely free from drugs or other injurious substances. It is cooling, imparts vigor to the scalp and will cure dandruff. It is put up in attractive shape, sells readily, and at the price at which we offer it, will enable the barber to realize a good profit. PRICE.

This Dye is put up in a box containing two bot- tles, viz., No. 1 and No. 2, and has been manufac- tured by us for the past ten years, giving universal satisfaction among barbers. It dyes the hair in- stantaneously to a jet black color. It is easily re- moved from the skin by the use of soap and water; should this fail to take away the stain entirely, a solu- tion of Sulphurate of Potash, which can be obtained from any druggist, will remove it immediately. Box containing two ounces No. 1 and one ounce No. 2, also full directions $0 50 Per dozen boxes 5 50 CAMPBELL'S ATMOSPHERIC HAIR DYE. As its name implies, Campbell's Atmospheric Hair Dye does not dye the hair immediately after being applied, but gradually changes the color upon exposure to the atmosphere. According to the number of applications, the color of the hair can be varied from a light brown to a jet black. PRI CE.
