HATS
"Wear a good hat the secret of your looks Lies with the beaver in Canadian brooks, Virtue may linger in an old cravat, But man and nature scorn the Shabby Hat."
Oliver Wendell Holmes..
The distinguished author no doubt referred to, the old tall beaver hat - ancestor of the modern silk top hat but his lines are equally applicable to our soft felt hats of to-day, the finest qualities of which have beaver fur in their constitution —other fürs used are nutria, hare and the more plebeian rabbit, it is on the careful selection and skilful blending of these furs that the "Quality" of your hat depends. None -but the best of each kind qualify to pass the LINCOLN BENNETT standards. Sole Agents:—
