An excerpt:

"WHY WEAR A HAT?

Why wear a hat? - For the best reason in the world! For glamour - for flattery - to attract attention - and to add the finishing touch to the costume as frosting lifts a plain cake to glorious heights!

Why wear a Hat? - For the second best reason in the world! To keep your ears warm - to keep your hair-do in place - to protect your unbowed head from the elements - and to add the kind of glamour that inspires admiring whistles!

Besides being an important accessory before and after the fact - how often do you suppose a new hat has been bought as a blues-chaser?

Miracles can be wrought out of thin air! With a new and becoming hat the head is held higher - there's a lilt in the step - and a sparkle in the eye. Nothing is impossible! The admiring world lies at your feed - just waiting to be conquered!"
