Description
Photograph of a display of men's fedora hats during Spring Market Week in Los Angeles, ca.1950. Two stacks of hats can be seen near center. The stacks are canted outward, forming a V shape. There are more hats on display on the ground at left and right, while several small cacti are at center. A large sign at center describes the events of Market Week, while at left and right, there are drawings of a man tipping his hat. Copies of Esquire Magazine can be seen in the lower left and right corners of the image. The sign at center reads as follows: "Los Angeles Spring Market Week January 21-February 1 350,000 Hats a year made by the George Bailey Hat Company, the largest Men's Hat Manufacturers on the Pacific Coast and the only makers of Straw Hats west of St. Louis".
