When was the first barber law enacted?

  1. 1897

  2. 1901

  3. 1915

  4. 1888

The correct answer is: 1897

The other options are incorrect because they are either after 1897 or too far before it. Option B, 1901, is only 4 years later. Option C, 1915, is 18 years later. And option D, 1888, is 9 years before. The first barber law was enacted in 1897, making option A the correct answer. This law was enacted in response to concerns about the cleanliness and safety of barber shops, particularly in regards to the spread of diseases. This law required barbers to obtain a license and follow specific sanitation standards in order to operate. The other options listed do not accurately reflect the timeline of when the first barber law was enacted.
