CAP vISoRs.
Making of Them a Business by Itself
Millions Turned Out Annually.

There is one man in the business who
in 1909 will have been making cap visors
for half century, and he isn't such an
old man either. He started at the trade
as boy in 1888. working for d concern
of which now he Is the head which WAS
then established in building at Broad
way and Rector street, where tie En-
pire building now stands. He recalls
the fact that when the war broke out
they worked night aud day turning out
yisors for soldiers caps.
The manufacture of cap visors is Il
business by itself. Only about fifteen
concerns are engaged in it. of which
number all are in this city save two or
| three located iii Philadelphia and Boston.
New York supplies yisors for cap manu-
facturers all over the country. producing
IN the aggregate millions of them annu-
ally.
FOR the very cheapest cloth caps visors
are made of cardboard paper or of imi-
tatiOn leather covered with the cloth of
/ which the cap body is made. For other
grades of cloth caps visors are made
of various sorts of light leather and for
some cloth caps of fine quality there are
now used because it is lighter than
| leather, visors made from heavy. spe-
clally woven and waterproofed canvas.
For yisors there is now made an imi-
tatlon leather composed of bookbinders'
| board and what is called moleskin, the
two being cemented together under pres
| sure. In a made up cap, where its edge
could not be seen, this material might
pass even an expert for leather The
best leather visors are made of leather

REBIRTH.

When went out TO the meadow,
When / went over the hill.
The whole world was awaiting
My coming to fulfil.
The whole world was awaiting
To sing it's song to me,
To make for me its color
The aky-the earth, the sea
/ know not that my going
Was such wondrous thing,
Till ! came unto the meadow
And the world began to sing.
1t sang: To-day and ever
Your souls another hue,
Because of the purple shadows
And because the sky Is blue.
O you are changed forever
Bred in the blood of you
Are beach aud billow and shallow,
And green and gold and blue;
Forever and forever.
Because of the ancient hill.
And the motion and the music.
And the moments when all is still.s
And / have taken the purple.
The green and the SUNNY gold
And the long, long years Of The old hill
Although ! am not old
And have taken the sea-swing.
Though who can carry "a wave
Aud have taken the sea-song,
| shall sing il in my grave
Encarna1ined. incarnate.
Bred in the blood of me-
And | am one forever
With the earth and sky and sea.
