| TEXT | Among the thirty-four hat-manufacturing establishments which are now in operation in Orange there are some confining themselves to medium grade of goods, while others devote their attention to the kigher grades and aim at the highest attainable standard of excellence. The best example of the lastmentioned class is furnished by the firm of Doremus & Co., who make a specialty of napped hats for ladies' and children's wear. This work is all performed by hand, the body of the hat being made by an expert workman by means of a large bow, after which it is, by the action of hot water and friction, made to adhere together. Each fibre of the fur or felt is like the hair on the head, and contains a number of infinitesimally small prongs which, under the action of hot water and friction, adhere and fasten into each other, forming a compact body having a nap about an inch in length. This style of hat is much worn, and the indications point to a much larger demand for them next season. The firm of Doremus & Co., which comprises Mr. Charles Doremus and Mr. Isaac Doremus, is the only one engaged in this special line of manufacture in Orange, and employ thirty hands in the different branches of the factory. Mr. C. Doremus is a native of Orange and has been in this line of business since 1878. In 1881 Mr. Isaac Doremus, who is also a native of Orange, became a member of the firm, and the business from that time has been largely increased. They have every facility for carrying on the business and supply a large demand from the wholesale trade. They are gentlemen highly esteemed in the community and are popular with all who have dealings with them. |
