ested in hats instead of feet while they were
dancing.
I saw everything from a Baby Doll's Picture
Hat to a Blue Devil Tarn and they were all
different no two of them were alike.
All the colors in the rainbow were represented,
and they were decorated with flowers and
feathers and trimmed with about everything
from satin to sable.
and the price well, let's not talk about un
pleasant things.
But there's no reason why you should pay the
price of a Bird of Paradise or an ostrich plume
when buying a man's hat. As far as style goes
they're all alike as two peas in a pod. I can
duplicate John D.'s or John Drew's.
And if you can't sec the difference, why pay
the difference when I guarantee the quality,
and you can have any Soft Hat or Derby in
mv Stores for $2.85.
