Is This Hat Enough for You
A store report recounts detaining a customer who asked if the hat was cool enough. They dressed him in thin underwear at one-fifth price, a summer shirt at the same rate, cassimeres at the same cut, and a 25 cent hat. He then complained that it was not cool enough, claiming to be as cool as ice cream soda.
