BOTTOM FACTS ABOUT THE HAT BUSINESS.
 In the hating trade the ball begins to get in motion. Business is on the in- crease. The next two weeks pay roll will be much larger than the past. Every workman who has been accomo- dated through the dull season by the butcher and groceryman should remem- Der that it takes money to run their business. Try to pay each one share of your wages. By so doing you help them to pay for their goods and keep the ball rolling. What we want most at the present time is good demand for labor, more and steadier employment. As rule for the past 40 years or more the price for labor has been governed by the demand for hats. The dull state of business the country over has made a greater demand for the cheapest grades Of hats, which means a shabby hat. Every one knows that it costs money to make good article to wear. Hats are n exception to the rule. To make 8 fur hat the material has to be imported mostly from Germany and Russia. The shalac to stiffen the body with is import ed from South America, a part of the trimmings are made in this country and a part ill the old countrys and it takes the gold to pay the bills. A good fur body, we'll suffered and yell finished with hot iron and water, be it either a soft hat or derby style, might and will stand good deal of abuse. You may whip the cat or dog and throw it at the chickens in the yard, if your derby is a good one it will stand the test without a break. If out of shape wear it in the hot sun or warm it gently by a fire and it's all right. If your hat is 8 poor one let it alone for the more you work at it the worse off you will get. Pay fair price and be sure you get what you pay for. If the dealer is an honest one and understands his business he will give you your moneys worth. Fair dealing and fair wages will keep the ball rolling, then labor troubles and strikes will be a thing of the past.
