factories the material from which their

skins and by far the largest portion are
Imported and arrive in great bales con-
tanning from 1000 to 1000 skins. Many
processes are gone through in the fur
factory before the fur is ready for the
hat manufacturer, who, after putting

from foreign substances and hair, start
the actual making of hat by weigh.
Ing out just enough fur to make a
given size and weight of soft or stiff
headgear. The fur is fed into an in.
closed machine in which is a revolving
copper cone, perforated and wet, be-
meath which is rapidly revolving sue
ton fan which creates q downward air
current. The result is that the light
weight fur is swirled about until it
appears like a miniature snow storm
and gradually and evenly settles on the
cone. When all the fur for one hat is
thus fed into the former and is depos.
tied on the cone, the machine is
opened, the operator wraps a cloth
about the cone with its evenly depos.

and slips off the first form of the hat.

In warm water, which increases the

sired colors and drying, all of which
Is necessary before the rough bodies
begin their travels through the hands
