Hair salons - Charles Ro · Everett Public Libraries, Everett, Mass.

Title: Hair salons - Charles Ro
Description: Charles Ro opened a hair salon on Ferry Street in 1955. It was successful, so he opened a couple more. Charles also had a hobby. He liked model trains. He started selling trains out of the back of his salon. Eventually the trains were more popular than the hair business. In 1972 he opened a train store in Malden. Eventually, the Charles Ro Supply Company became the largest model train store in the country, and the largest Lionel Train dealer in the world. Not too shabby!
