- W1567881932 abstract "Yet, even in slavery Thomas had laid foundation for his later financial success, learning values of frugality, hard work, and business enterprise. At age of fourteen, in Nashville, Tennessee, he was hired out as an apprentice barber, working for Frank Parrish, a slave who had earlier established a barber shop on public square.11 He quickly learned trade. James has character of a good barber, so a Gentleman told me, a free Negro observer wrote in 1843. Well thought of by members of upper class, James has manners to please almost anyone who do not let their prejudice go far on account of color. 12 Earning $12 a month, he worked for Parrish until 1846, when he opened his own barber shop in a house on corner of Deaderick and Cherry streets in downtown business district.13 The location proved ideal.14 Within a few steps of several banking houses, newspaper buildings, and law firms, as well as county court house, Market Square, and Capitol, the place on Deaderick, he explained, [is] convenient to bankers, merchants, editors, lawyers, politicians, and other professional men.15 Soon he boasted a prosperous trade, counting among his customers ex-governor William Carroll, future governor William (Parson) Brownlow, and Whig politician Ephraim Foster, who was Thomas' legal owner." @default.
