The plaid print is extremely simple, but meanwhile very beautiful and elegant.  For some reason, its appearance is attributed to the Scots, but I think that this is not correct. Because the plaid can be found in the national costumes of various countries.  For example, antique plaid skirts were kept in the trunks of my maternal great-great-grandmother until the 1970s.  And she, along with her husband, my great-great-grandfather, came from the Baltics.

The felt hat company "Neumann Endler Inc" was founded in Danbury, Connecticut in 1931-1932. The founders were German immigrants Kurt L. Neumann and Gerhard Endler, as described on page 1312 in volume 4 of Burpee's The Story of Connecticut, by Charles Winslow, Burpee American historical Company, Incorporated, 1939 . "Neumann Endler Inc" existed until 1968. The hats of this company are in collections in various museums: in the Grand Rapids Public Museum in Michigan, in the McLeod Coun...
