man handles his hat in the company of others more often than any other thing he wears. It thus more easily becomes the subject of conversa- tion. That means he gets more opportunity for pride in the possession of a good hat than in any other article of his dress.

made by the famous firm of GLYN & Co., 44, Old Bond Street, London, IS A SURE WINNER- when compared with other makes. The Quality of the Fur, the trimmings and other minor details make the "Glyn" a better product.
