Preciado’s pioneer barbershop

Cleaning up in Madera in the 1940s

Pictured in 1940, this barbershop was located on the north side of Yosemite Avenue, near the site of Y.V. Preciado’s pioneer barbershop. Unlike this shop, one could get a haircut, shave, and bath at Preciado’s. Madera’s premier barber closed his shop after the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. (Madera Images; Bill Coate)
