AND...they're still in business!!! The Hatterie Though at a different location from their original....I have wondered how they've managed to stay in business...they're now next to the chinese buffay we sometimes go too and we have never seen anyone go in there...i always assume they have a good church lady hat business though as they have a lot of church lady type hats in the window....and yes, they still have those men style hats too.....definitely glad they're still around for over 100 years though!!! that's awesome!

more vintage hatterie ads on their archive page....

I really like those ilustrations - interesting how the 1958 faces are more realistic than the 1908 ones!

i wonder if the illustrations had to be limited in a way due to printing? and now i wonder if they wanted to represent the same man 50 years later in this one....

I think it's all about fashion and what was "hot" in art back in early 1900's. Just look at any artistic work (not that ads wouldn't be art!) or fashion design drawings from back then. Then again, in 1950's it might have been more fashionable or whatever to portray people as realistically as possible — as if they were photographed. :)
