"Custom is almost
a second nattire0"

-P/w'arch.
An important spring custom is to get a new hat just as soon
as the season is settled. Colored shirts too begin to be in demand
about the same time ,
When the pearls of perspiration begin to firni their way
down from under the so-called sweat-band of your spring derby ,
it is time to think of straw hats , We want you to think of ours.
We have a line of soft hats that will interest you. They
are of light weight and will save the straw on a showery day.
Hats of all kinds , in a word ; and bicycle caps as well ,
