| TEXT | As one of the most prominent houses in this trade which has been foremost in promoting the standard of elegance in straw hats, that of Messrs. L. R. Bates & Co., No. 552 Broadway, is deserving of special mention in a review of those places most desirable in the city as purchasing points. The factory is located at Westboro, Mass., and is equipped with all the latest im proved machinery and appliances necessary for the business, employment being given to about two hundred and fifty skilled and experienced operatives. Perhaps in no other line of productive industry are manufacturers so controlled by the fickle goddess of fashion as in the manufacture of ladies' hats. The number of new shapes it is absolutely necessary to invent each season is almost illimitable and requires a skill and taste in designing quite unimaginable to the ordinary observer. The firm of L. R Bates & Co. date their establishment as far back as 1868, and since then have obtained a liberal and influential patronage from first-class retailers and jobbers. The products of the house consist of all kinds of ladies', misses' and children's straw hats, a specialty being made of fine goods. In every respect this concern posesses ample facilities and its goods are unsurpassed for quality, style and elegance by any contemporary firm, and is in a position to offer inducements to the trade difficult to be obtained elsewhere. Personally, Mr. Bates is greatly esteemed by the community for his executive ability and integrity, and is thoroughly familiar with every detail of the business, enjoying special advantages for its successful prosecution. |
