Derby Hats to New York. Previous to that
time the exclusive hatters had superstition
that S. was all that New York men would
nav for a Derby hat We felt differently
about it. We believed that New York men
wanted the best of everything in matters OF
dress, no matter what the cost.
All manufacturers agree that it is compare
lively easy to make better hats than any 80
hats made. and when we found that the best
was to be had for just one dollar more, we
Immediately set about securing it for our Gus
toners. The idea was immediate success.
The Clear Nutria Derby is made out OF
the finest nutria fur that can be secured. The
felt in the Derby is fine in texture and lus-
trous, also very light in weight hat that
is particularly agreeable for warm-weather
wear.
