Posting that about Olympic reminded me of this hat. Although I'd rather have one of the old No Name's. Still cool to know this one is part of the "family".

This thread is STELLAR!! I am so taken back from all of the content. :yo:

I just scanned through the awesome pics, but I can't wait to start reading all of the notes and ads. Thank you so much for compiling all of this!!!

Found the store for Smith and Mattingly in Butte, Montana (from the bill previous posted).

"Various stores have occupied 117 N. Main Street, including a grocer, a hardware store, and men’s clothing stores. One of the first clothiers was Babcock’s; the name was superseded by his successors, Babcock’s managers Smith and Mattingly in 1900, and by Ignatius Mattingly alone from 1904 until 1925. The “Babcock’s” ghost sign here is pre-1900; the barely visible “Mattingly’s” over the garage door dates to the 1904-25 period. The overpass led to the second floor of the alley building, which early maps always label as storage."

Thanks guys. I just got lucky. It was a BIN at a somewhat shocking price. Hope it is in as decent shape as it looks. I will post my entire fedora collection sometime soon.
