Yes, I know.

That's why I suggested it starts with St as in the Student in the line above.

The description carries on over the next page. He's a "dealer in hairdressers electrical and other goods"

Whoever completed this form, seems to have spilled some of the occupation info to the first col of the facing page ( rather than squash it in the assigned field which most of them did)

I believe it may read Dealer inn Hairdressers Electrical & other goo[ds]

Apologies, Shaun J already posted that, but at least we agree :-)
