A photo of workers in front of the Hanover Barber Shop at Hanover Square in Hanover Park circa 1963. It was located on Barrington Road until it closed its doors on December 30th, 2023. A partial sign in the photograph advertises an Ontarioville Fire Department Carnival on July 14.

According to "Ontarioville: Its Past and Its People", by Marilyn J. Gallgher, Ontarioville didn't have a barber in the 1920s. The tavern owners had a barber come out on weekends to cut people's hair.

Antonio "Boss" Perri opened this barber shop in Park 'n Shop Shopping Center in 1963, according to a proclamation by the village of Hanover Park in 2013. It remained in the same shopping center until it closed in 2023.

The staff at Hanover Barber Shop believed this must be a photo of the Hanover Barber Shop in the Park 'n Shop Shopping Center because they say they have been the only Hanover Park barber shop. But they say the exterior of the building in the photo looks different from the exterior in the present day. They also say they did not recognize anyone in the photograph, and none of the gentleman in the photograph are Antonio Perri.

The gentleman on the right in the first row (kneeling) may be Charles Soble.
