Minot's Turkish Bath
Opera
House Barber Shop – Edward Henjum, a barber in Minot, owned the
Leland Barbershop. During its busy days, the Leland Barbershop employed as many
as five barbers and grossed over $15,000 annually. This was big money back in
the 1920’s. Before starting out on his own, Edward Henjum worked at the Opera.
The Opera was a barbershop located in the basement of the Jacobson Opera House.

parlor was run in conjunction with the barber shop. Besides the nine barbers,
The Opera employed a cashier and two porters... The Opera Barber Shop and the Opera itself were both in the Jacobson Hardware Building
