While the need for such a book has been keenly realized, the jealousy with which the secrets of the trade have been guarded by those competent to teach them has been an insurmountable difficulty to overcome in the past.<br>The present volume, it is believed, is an complete and explicit as it is possible to make. "Scientific Hat Finishing and Renovating" is really a remarkable achievement. The reader will soon realize that it is more than a set of instructions - it is this, plus a running fire of confidential advice and counsel from a man who has been a practical hatter all his life and has learned the little shortcuts and enconomies that distinguish the expert from the beginner. If you need a cigar-box for pouncing paper and chalk he does not advise you to get a costly cabinet. Throughout the book there are hardheaded hints thta will be of value to the hatter already established as well as to the man planning to open a shop.<br>Besides the satisfaction of filling a genuine need and helping to elevate the craft of hatting, we feel a sentimental interest in sponsoring this book, for John Henry Ermatinger, father of the author, was one of our early customers and Mr. Ermatinger himself is still on our books as a regular purchaser. As far back as 1862 John Henry Ermatinger was purchasing goods from us; and his son, the author of this book, has in his possession an old bill from us dated in that year.<br>While we have made no endeavor to advertise our products in this book, we wish to call the reader's attention to the fact that all supplies mentioned may be obtained from us.<br>Contents<br>Introductory<br>From the Business Man's Point of View<br>Establishing the Shop<br>Equipping and Arranging the Shop<br>Advertising and Business Systems<br>What to Charge<br>How to Make out a Joe Ticket<br>Preparing the Hats for Cleaning<br>Cleaning Soft Hats<br>Cleaning soft Hats ( Cont.)<br>Stiffening and Blocking<br>Brim Work (Soft Hats)<br>Curling Soft Hats<br>Flanging<br>Renovating Velours, Beavers and Napped Hats<br>Shaping Soft Hat Styles<br>How to Conform a Hat<br>Cleaning Stiff Hats<br>Blocking Stiff Hats<br>Curling Stiff Hats<br>Finishing Rough Hats<br>Trimming<br>Cleaning Straws and Body Hats<br>Bleaching Straws and Body Hats<br>Bleaching and Stiffening Panama Hats<br>Blocking Panama Hats<br>Other Bleaching Methods<br>Renovating Women's Straw Hats<br>Ironing, Washing and Blocking Silk Hats<br>CD ROM plays on your computer and is Windows and MAC computer compatible.<br>This is an easy to use computer CD ROM publication in the popular Adobe PDF file format which can be view by using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.  The PDF file is very easy to use.
