is a hat, the material of which grew IN the

and it furnishes also the pleasing assn
rance that liberal encouragement to-
wards the industry and enterprise of our
own country-w0men IL alone necessary 10
save the country thousands of dollars
which are now annually required for the
payment of the imported article.
