Men's Light-weight
Derbies and Soft Hats
Special at $1.95
Six hundred arc tho best selection from the
".seconds" of a manufacturer famous for his
Derby Hats which retail country wide at $5.00.
They are especially light in weight, which makes
them particularly desirable for Spring wear.
The Soft Hats, 500 of them, are "seconds" from an
equally well and favorably known maker. The "fur"
does 'not run quite uniform in thickness, but that is the
criticism of an expert Hatmaker. The Hats themselves
are in no way affected as to wearing quality.
