TEXT	Mr. Brown first established his present business thirty-five years ago, and at the same address which he now occupies. He continued the manu facture of hats and caps until within the last four years, but is now only a dealer in men's head-gear and umbrellas. The manufacture of hats being abandoned, as said, he is enabled to devote his whole time and attention to the business of his store. Mr. Brown, however, is one of the oldest hatters in the city, who still continues to keep a store, which is some consolation for the change which advancing methods in the hat as well as in many other trades have caused. The store occupied by Mr. Brown has a measurement of 20x50 feet, and is well filled with a large and well-selected assortment of fashionable hats, caps, and umbrellas, where his customers will be sure to receive the most prompt and polite attention; and as Mr. Brown was born and brought up in the City of New York, has lived to be about sixty years old, was often offered political preferment and steadily declined to be thus allured from the paths of private life, we feel sure of our ground when we say that such customers will be satisfied with any representations which be may make in matters of business. Touching his refusals to accept the honors of public office, we may safely conclude that bis reasons were of the best. Go and see him, and do not come away without buying a hat
