New Year's Greetings

Our fall showing of hats is more
complete than we have been able to
offer for several years ... embracing
many more styles than the four
illustrated. A casual inspection of our
windows will convey fak more about
their attractiveness than any amount of
wordage. But better -still, will prove a
visit to our Hat Department
where yOu'll find our careful,
experienced fitting service as much
of a revelation as the many good-
looking hats you'll see.
