THE
NEW
FALL
HATS
YHILE the new hats have re
, " tained a slight resemblance
to the hats of last Fall in shapes,
there is a distinctive individuality
about each hat that appeals to one
immediately.
The prevailing colors are dark
and pearl grays, dark brown and
blue, blocked in fedora, flat and
derby shapes, low and high crowns.
The " EVENT", a Stetson
production, is a prime favorite this
Fall. In a soft grey color, fedora
shape, it is recognized at once as a
hat of high character. We will
have them on display in our window
