SOUTH AMERICAN
PANAMAS
Panamas from the West Coast of South
America are the only hats that are
Really Genuine Panamas
And They Wear for Years
THEY ARE MADE OP THE VERY STRONG, TOUGH FIBRE THAT GROWS 7
ONLY IN THAT SECTION OP THE WORLD THEY DON'T COST ANY MORE
THAN IMITATIONS THAT OFTEN DO NOT LAST A SINGLE SEASON.
The shipping depot ia located fifteen days' journey back from the coast, in the interior mountain
ous country where the Panamas are woven by the Indians and brought in to trade at the depot where
the hats are prepared and packed for shipment. There are no railroads in this entire district. The
journey to the coast is made by mule-back for eight days, and thence by river to coast port, where the
steamer calls, taking the hats to Panama to be transferred by railroad to Colon, and thence by steamer
to this country, the entire journey taking about two months' time.

THE NEWEST THING IN HATS
HAND WOVEN BY NATIVES IN BULACAN, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Baliuag Buntal Hats are very scarce, and bring very high prices on account of the beautiful
weaving, extreme lightness, and great durability. They are very strong and will wear for years and
years with reasonable care. Made only by the natives of Bulacan, Luzon, P. I., from the fibre of the
Burl Palm. The best and lightest hat in existence.
WEAVING A SINGLE HAT TAKES FROM 3 WEEKS TO 3 MONTHS
One Price, $15.00
We have a big assortment of sizes and we want you to come in and inspect these lines critical
lygive them any kind of a test. A Panama is always a paying investment because they wear for
years. They are cool, comfortable, and always fit the head. We want you to understand that these
are not "imitations" and that the Laing guarantee goes with every one sold. Now is the time to buy.
