A PATENT BEAVER HAT.
CCOVINTON, in offering to the Public a
`-.1 • BEAVER HAT of a quality, shape, and appearance,
decidedly superior to any yet tmuuffacturetl, begs leave briefly to
statft wherein its superiority consists.
The 'finest BEAVER HATS of the usual manufacture, .will,
en account of the thinness and length of the BEAVER or NAP,
assume a very rough and unsightly appearance, on being exposed
to the wind. New this HAT, even if exposed to the roughest
!mobs!, wilt always present an uniform and beautiful smoothness,
is Consequence of a peculiar method resorted to in disposing the
NAP or BEAVER, which is remarkably SHORT and THICK.
it is also perfectly water-proof, light, elastic,. and of astonishing
ity.
