A Barber Pole

A barber pole. Not just a spinning tube attached to the side of a building, but an actual pole, standing separately on the sidewalk. Outside a barber shop that advertises itself as "Barber Shop" (with a small "3 Aces" up top). And with a sign in the window saying "Men's & Ladie's Haircuts," just in case we didn't know what they were offering. We're in the world of the elemental here. The fundamental.
