reason of having their trunks equipped

We Fit the Bumps
Nine out of every ten men have irregular shaped
heads, and therefore can not wear a stifi hat
and be happy. For the comfort of such men we
have placed in our hat department a French
conformatur.
First, with this machine we take a perfect im
pression of the shape of your head. The hat is
then placed on the heating device when warm
enough it is drawn over the form, which is the
exact shape of your head. When the hat cools
off it hardens, and retains the shape always.
Our large assortment of hats includes all of
Stetson's shapes and shades for Fall.
STETSONS $3.50 to $5.00.
OTHERS $1.00 to $3.00.
Glad to show you any day.
We put your initials in the hat.
