A Fad of Pussy Men Who Are Cranks
In the Matter of Headwear.
In the back part of a Broadway hat
ter's store there is pair Of scales that
are used only in the case of particular
demands by particular customers. As
general thing you don't look for
scales in a hatter's, and the proprietor
explained his reason for having them
in this way:
You will often find very fussy men
when 1t comes to buying a hat. With
them the weight of headgear is of
prime Importance. An ounce more or
less gives them the fidgets when they
have made rule of life to wear only
such and such weights on their heads.
So ] keep the scales to convince them.
1t is well that | do. 1t has settled
many an argument with crouch and
sold me many hat
You may call them queer for want
ing the exact weight they call for or
within and not over that weight; but.
come to think it over. they are not any
queerer than the men who rush in here
at the beginning Of summer demand
ing summer headgear because they
simply can't endure their heavy winter
hats any longer.
We'll, they buy straw and go away
perfectly satisfied they are prepared for
summer heat And the hat they buy?
Why. by actual weight on these very
scales it often weighs two to four
ounces more than the winter hat they
have been wearing. One of our good
customers has regularly shifted from
twelve ounce winter SLOUGH to fifteen
ounce summer straw and has been
happy in the change"
