Where Hat Styles Are Made

The hat trade of the United States concentrated in the small area bounded by Washington square, Greene street, Spring street and Crosby street in New York. At this moment you may, if you will, see the style of derby that fashion will make you wear next fall, as well as the style of straw hat that is to be fashionable in New York this summer, says the New York Times. Almost every hat factory in the United States has a permanent office or temporary representative in the area designated.
