Occupations that have disappeared

Occupations that have disappeared: bus conductor, pot tinkerer, telephone operator, telephone operator, fountain pen repairer, shaver and others.

1, bus conductor

Bus conductors have disappeared as one of the measures taken by the city's transportation management. The popularity of electronic payment and unmanned ticketing has left many places without bus conductors.

2, mending pots and pans

The mending pots and pans maker is a professional craftsman who repairs all kinds of pots and pans. Since iron pots and pans are prone to leakage, the mending pots and pans makers improve the leakage and breakage of pots and pans by mending pots and pans. Although the pot mending industry is fading away today, pot menders were still active in some eras.

3. Telephone Operator

Telephone operators have been disappearing for some time now, but the profession of telephone operator still exists in some areas. A telephone operator transfers a phone number through a phone line to another phone number, which can then be used to make calls in a different way.

4. Repairing fountain pens

Repairing fountain pens is a vanishing occupation because fountain pens are rare and expensive, and many people cherish them, even seeing them as a luxury. With the spread of electronics, fewer people use fountain pens, and the profession of fountain pen repair is no more.

5. Shavemaster

Shavemasters are a disappearing profession. They no longer shave people's heads themselves, but perform shaving services through intermediaries or on behalf of others. They usually use only one razor, which they skillfully operate to accomplish a variety of shaving, shaving, face trimming, ear trimming and many other tasks. The shavers are skillful, but few people in modern society need their services anymore.
