a veteran Of the business to the local
historian, most wonderful changes
have taken place since 1850. In O.dtn

silk dress hats were first introduced in
this country. this being a French i'll

hats in the world was, up to this time,
made in France. When koSSuth came
to America he introduced the soft felt
hats, wearing one himself 1t did not
take American hatters long TO take up
the idea. and in less than one year Old
and young Americans covered theiT
heads with KoSsuth hats. They were
in shape nearly the same as tourist
hats now. only being trimmed up with
a nice, long ostrich plume. Along about
1888 an English tourist came along
with the derby hat, and in very few
"""rs they became the general head
in the country. and up to the pres

Considerable petty thievery has
