TEXTNothing whatever in the way of millinery adornment can ever supersede ostrich-feathers. Other descriptions of feathered ornamentation have their seasons of fashionable favor, and ribbons, artificial flowers, pearl, jet, beaded, and metal decorations, will always be more or less in vogue, but the intrinsic beauty and gracefulness of ostrich-plumes will keep them always in the highest estimation as the most elegant and appropriate garniture for female head-dress. A leading house engaged in the manufacture of artificial flowers and importation of ostrich-feathers is that of Messrs. Thomas E. Hanson & Co., Nos. 549 and 551 Broadway and 100 and 122 Mercer Street, who established this house several years ago, and since its inception have always enjoyed a liberal and influential patronage. Their importations of artificial flowers are chiefly from the most famous establishments of London Paris, and Vienna. Considering the immense consumption of ostrich-feathers, it is somewhat surprising that their price has not advanced largely beyond present quotations. The only explanation of this peculiar mystery is found in the increased supply afforded by the establishment of ostrich-farming in Southern Africa. It la true that the feathers of domesticated birds do not equal in fineness and lustre those of the wild ones, but unless too closely compared they would be pronounced very handsome, and they meet the requirements of a large class of trade. Messrs. Hanson & Co. possess one of the finest assortments of black ostrich-feathers in the city, which will be found unsurpassed in lustrous colors, softness of finish, and graceful- disposition. A specialty with this house is the production of feathers in shades to harmonize with silks, ribbons, and other dress and millinery materials. The utmost care is exercised to render the most entire satisfaction in this department, and the manufacturing facilities are such that failure is practically 1m-possible. The senior partner, Mr. Thomas E. Hanson, is greatly esteemed in mercantile circles for his strict honor and integrity. Dealers and large buyers who are desirous of obtaining the most desirable goods at lowest rates should not fail to examine carefully the stock at the above establishment.
