Doctor George Augustus Scott (1842-1890)
—Dr. Scott’s Electric Hair Brush is the imposing heading for an ad. in Puck this week. The brush is sold by Geo. A. Scott, of New York, a native of this village, and a son of the brush manufacturer, Geo. Scott. The “Dr.” part of the business is as yet shrouded in mystery. It is said that the nobility of Murray Hill, and all of England’s titled personages have gone absolutely wild over “Doctor” Scott’s remarkable invention. The “Dr.” has the best wishes of the boys.
