Mrs IJpto Daight ' Are you
going to enter your baby in the
Better Babies" Contest?"
Mrs. O. B. Careful—"No i think
not. I don't believe he would
take a prize, there are so many
other babies that look bigger
and better than my baby."
Mrs. Upto Paight "My dear,
the prizes are only a minor con-
sideration. Surely you want to
know how your baby will grade,
In after years he will be proud
that you thought him tit even to
enter."
Mrs. O. B. Careful"— I hadn't
thought of it in that light. I will
enter him then as you suggest."

IF you have never been through a hat factory you have no idea how interesting, how much
there is to the making of a hat.
This wonderful exhibit presents the fourteen operations in making a Soft Hat—and the
sixteen operations cn a Stiff Hat. It shows how the elegant imported furs look before and
after they are treated, picked and how trie fur is made into felt. How a hat looks before it is
shrunk, and afterwards. How it is blocked and shaped. The whole process from "A to Z."
INTERESTING STETSON FACTS
Over 5,400 people arc employed at the STETSON factory in Philadelphia, vnere every pa"t of the hat
is made. Over 400,000 pounds of raw silk v.crc converted into ribbon for het banas and bindings last year.
330,000 sheepskins were made into sweat bands 850.000 pounds of fur war cut from 11,000,000 skins which
were imported direct. Even the paper hat-boxes are mad;- By STETSON requiring over ^2(1 tons of box-
board last year. STETSON has an auditorium seating 6,000, a lunch room and hospital for their employes;
also a Savings Bank. STETSON workers ere happy workers thty Nki tl.tir work and take pride in the
fact that STETSON Hats have won first pruc at every WorldV Fail where these world-famous hats have
been exhibited.
Stetr-on Hats are widely distributed all over the world. Men in every climc of every tongue—
and every station in life, wear Stetsons. Because Stetson makes the hat that is always dependable
—that offers the selection wide inough to satisfy every man's tastes.
There isn't an authentic style, in color, shape, weight or finish that isn't presented first and
best in a Stetson.
And you'll find the widest selection, and most expert help in choosing, at our store.
