1935....Hats of the World by StylePark Hats........Many Clothiers sold mens hats and were the de facto "Hatter" when the "Big" stores started moving in........and it became more and more difficult making money with just selling hats (*of course in the smaller towns...retailers often started out selling more than hats...just to make ends meet). Neat booklet........
