THE HAT TRADE.

, , gi'l'he American Hatter). ,
,Wpectlye glance at the past
, s' but business instantly to-
iilt, what is without doubt the
sandstone profitable of the
. . intrudefeatuieewthe big straw
shill business that was done. Though
abut briefly ~r’eferred to here. the at.-
Iifllitltm of our readers is particularly
‘ led to the special treatment of this
all set in "The Straw and Panama
RAI- Ti‘ltie of 1905 and 1906," which ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue.
“Another pleasant feature is the ar-
val, in the market. of the “early
birds" among the prominent rctail
hill. buyers. especially \of the Western
and Pacific Coast sections of the coini-
try. who always make it a rule to be
in the market personally to see what is
being shown for the coming season.
Theyisre already on in force. and the
lly influx of buyers from other see-
tons has already begun, so that New
‘ York citysalesrooms are indeed busy
The Case Trade.
.. Again we are. called upon to report.
the highly interesting fact that the
else house salesmen are on their early
trips to the Jobbers or the West and
"South—spending several thousands of
Milan in a fruitless effort to secure
orders from the same jobhcrs who a
, few weeks hence will be right in the
market, seeing for themselves all that
the sample rooms have to offer. it
seems a pity that this needless ex.
pendlture of real money should be
made season after season with so lit-
tle return. The so-called early trip
of the case house salesman each sea-
son is much like the vcrnilform ap-
pendix of the human anatomy—so far
as any one knows, of absolutely no
use—and ought to be cut out.
A few representative houses could
assure the success or the needed “op-
eration." ’
‘The St. Louis'jobbers, as stated in
sprevloue issue, have agreed to look
at Spring. 1906, samples during the
week of August 7—»and will then im-
mediately come to the New York mar-
kets to do their buying.
Soft Hat Styles. .
As stated in previous issues. the soft
ll‘at. trade of the Fall season of 1905
will be done on comparatively conscr-
vative shapes and iii a large variety
of colors.
The Tourist shape in nutrla and
brownish shades and pour] and blue
pearl has been bought very generally
by the majority of buyers. and tote.
scopes, too, have been well taken for
young man‘s trade.
The latest. candidate for popular to
Vor, however. is an adaptation in fur
felt of the Douglas straw lint illustrat-
ed herewith, from the original in
straw. and with slight variations being
pushed by a number of prominent soft
but manufacturers.
The Douglas, first introduced by
Truly Warner. is a soft brim hat or
fine Milan braid. The dimensions are
3-inch crown by 27.. brim. the latter ho-
in: finished with a narrow black bind-
ing and an inch and a half” hint-k hand
is tlsed as trimming. 'l‘lie Douglas.
which as an cud-of—tlie-scason novelty
hos taken quite well with the younger
element of wonrors lends itself readily
to adaptation in fur felt, and iiiuiiiii'nc-
turel‘s were not. slow to recognize the
fact. Almost (my line for Full now
includes something approxliiiiiting ii
copy of this hat.
Stiff Hat Business Big.
The stiff hilt business got under way
quickly this Fall, tuid reports from all
the manufacturing centres show a
very satisfactory volume of orders ul-
mdy going through the itiilnul‘iictur-
tflux recess. Business is much bcI«
for than a year ago. and it is Illi‘. gen-
..‘dl‘ll opinion that the coming season
' will see stiff bats very prominent iii
public favor.

Stiff Hst styles.
The Young’s Derby for Fall is the
first of the leading styles to be issued.
and likewise the first to verify the pre-
dictions made in these columns last
month that "if one were compelled at
this date (a month ago) to answer the
question what are best selling dimenv
sions in Fall derby hats, the answer
should be 5% x 1% or 2, and 5% x
2 or 2%. with preference perhaps glv-e
on to the 51.4, deep crown. The fore-
going, however, applies particularly to
fine retail trade the jobbing demand
being more for a staple and perhaps
lower crowned shape. but 5%. seems to
be the minimum crown depth."
There is little likelihood of any lead.
ing shapes still to be shown, proving
this forecast for from the facts, and
thus again is the reader of this column
impressed with the value and accu-
racy of the advance information that
American Hatter readers receive regu-
larly each month.
Browns.
.lusctn year ago The American lint-
ier inaugurated its now famous brown
but campaign, and a scanning of both
Fall and Spring orders will show the
general results accomplished. All the
nutrla and brownish shades in soft
hats are selling. and in stiff hats such
colors as Java and light browns are in
demand
PetihLand blue pearl soft. hats, too,
which we favored two months ago,
are selling freely, and bid fair to be
excellent property for early Fall bust.
ness.
Fancy Bands.
The general adoption of fancy hands
by straw hat wcilrcl‘s this Summer is
bound to be reflected iii the Fall felt
hilt styles. Mixed bands and very
quiet hair line stripes in solid colors
are being bouglit—«iiot. largely to be
sure. but they are selling just the
sonic
Panamas for 1906.
Panama hats are likely to play an
important part in the Summer trade
of 1900. and as they arc imported
from foreign countries. Orders for
them should be booked early, [)lll'lk‘ll'
uarly if the retuilcr desires ll choice
8(‘lt'(:ll0|l-'l'0|‘ there are l’annina huts
and the late buyer this season had to
take merely Panamas. and was lucky
to not these in some instances.
The period of the Piilliilllii hat was
the most profitable time iu the. retail
lint business, and the return to favor
of this particular style promises good
prollts to lint merchants. Retailers
should make their selections with a
view in retailing the bills as not less
than $3. At this price cxctdicnt va-
lucs can be given customers, but. at
