New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1920-04-14

This week we are going to
tell you about Straw Hats.
You may not need one today
but the weather will soon be
warmer and then we would
like to sell you a straw hat
that for size, fit, good looks,
and wearing quality, can't be
beat.
We sell Sun Shade Hats.
These hats are made out of
a palm leaf, which grows
naturally on the mountains
IN certain districts Of South
western Mexico. There are
no factories or machinery,
except the hands Of the In
dams, who gather and pre-
pare the palm leaves for this
primitive manufacturing in.
dustry. The palm leaf is har-.
vested during the months Of
April and May and placed an
their huts to dry. Ina month
the leaves are ready to he
split and made into hats.
The only instrument used
III splitting the leaf or MAX
ing the hat is the thumb nail
OF the right hand. This is
allowed to grow about 81
Of an inch long and kept
very sharp.
The first step in weaving
straw hats is to assemble
eighteen widths, which are
assembled into pairs. Then
the crown is started and
more widths added as the
hat grows.
The weaving consists of
making one palm cross two
others which must be done
5,400 times in making one
hat.
Viewers carry the ma
terial on their left arm and
walk around or sit down
whichever notion suits them
best.
The Indians who make
these hats are known as
Nixtecos and out Of 1000
there will probably be one
who can read or write and
ten who can speak Spanish.
The rest speak nothing but
the Indian tongue.
The whole family helps
make hats, and they sure
live IN a great country. Some
times a whole year goes by
without a drop Of rain. Once
IN ten years they get a crop
Of corn.
The rivers usually have no
water IN them and the village
drinking water is kept in a
pond from which animals
and Indians share alike.
Still they never dream Of
singing How Dry I Am.
The value Of the house and
furniture is about $15 or less.
The Indians also have live
stock, perhaps a half a dozen
dogs, a few turkeys and
chickens and sometimes a
pig or two.
The palm leaves are hung
to the ceiling TO dry. No
doors in these houses. & No
fear Of burglars as the dogs
take care Of anyone coming
within 100 yards.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1920-04-14

These Indians are very
poor. A man working -
hours a day can probably
finish four hats.
Their living expenses are
almost nothing. Their cloth
ing consists Of a shirt and
pants. For shoes they have
a sole strapped to their feet,
and they make their own
hats. Fashions don't bother
them. a man dresses from
head to foot for about 75c.
When the Indians have
two or three dozen hats they
trade them off for corn or
liquor Or take them to town
on market day. On these
days the Indians gather in
large numbers and the hat
merchants bid for the hats.
- +. 6
After the hats are in the
hands Of the merchants they
are put through a boiling
process which rids them Of
all impurities. Then they
are dried and packed in II
dozen lots. They are then
loaded on burros for trans
portatlon to the railroad.
They start at sunrise, one
man to every five burros, and
It keeps him busy balancing
the loads, getting the burros
to their feet when they fall
down and seeing that they
don t fall down the canyons
from the narrow trails.
1t takes, as a rule. four or
tive days to travel fifteen or
twenty miles. From some of
the hat districts it takes Is
days to get. to a railroad sta
ton.
The main hat market is Te-.
=haucan, which lies 200 miles
south of Mexico City. Here
the hats are graded and
baled and sent by rail to
Vera Cruz and then by water
to st. Louis, Mo-, where they
are shaped, banded, sized
and colored or bleached. At
ter they have gone through
some more processes, which
altogether are about twenty,
before a hat becomes a real
hat and this is why a hat in
our show window doesn t
look anything like it did
when the Indian took it to
town.
It's a long, long trail from
Southwestern Mexico to our
show windows, but you will
see them IN our showwindows
beginning next Sunday-als
photos Of Indians making
these hats. You will also see
how they look before the
hats are finished. A straw
hat sure looks wild and
woody before it is finished.
Come and look at them.
We have them for men, wo-
men and children. Now
folks if you want a straw hat,
step in, we have your size.
That all reminds us that
our Hat Dye just came in
and now you can color your
nat any color you wish.
Incur next week S ad.. we
viii have sonnet hingsthat will
surprise you. Look for it.
