Steve,

<<Graphics`Graphics`

I have taken the following from the Help Browser and added Ticks-> ....
It seems that the BarLabels are not shown when the ticks are specified.
You might also like to look at the function GeneralizedBarChart in the same
package.

BarChart[{1, 3, 4, 5, 3.5, 3}, {3, 2, 5, 3},
 BarSpacing -> -.3, BarGroupSpacing -> .5,
 BarStyle -> {GrayLevel[.6], Hue[0]},
 BarEdgeStyle ->
 {{Dashing[{.01}],Hue[0]},GrayLevel[0]},
 BarLabels ->
 {"Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep"},
 PlotLabel -> "Projected and Current Profit,
 Tourist Season",
 DefaultFont -> {"Helvetica", 9},
 Ticks -> {{{2,"Two"},{3,"Three"}},{{3,"Three"},{4,"Four"}}}
 ]
