My recent publication on _Head-Gear, Antique and Modern_,
will be delivered to all our customers. Should there be any
who do not receive a copy, they will do me a favor by making
application at the store where they will be supplied. I take
great pleasure in presenting the only work exclusively devoted
to this subject ever published, trusting a perusal of its
pages will be at least interesting, if not instructive. I have
used every effort to make it a correct description of styles,
beginning with Egypt in the days of the Pharaohs (dating back
nearly six thousand years) and ending with modern Paris, giving
some twenty pages of beautifully executed illustrations, and
thirty pages of descriptive essays and quotations from ancient
and modern writers.
We solicit continuance of your patronage this coming season,
and feel confident that with a rich and varied assortment of
millinery goods and perfect artists we shall be able to sustain
our motto “_CORRECT STYLES_.”
Respectfully yours,
R. H. WADLEIGH.
