Lit Brothers' Building, 8th & Market, Philadelphia, PA
Back in the day - 1890s -
Lit Brothers Department Store
would trim your new hat for free.
The Iron Facade of Lit Brothers' Building, 8th & Market, Philadelphia, PA
Seeing that old sign made me long for a hat that could be trimmed
until I saw this in a store window...
The Feather Duster Hat
Who needs a hat trimmed
when you can just put a feather duster on your head.
I'm wondering what kind of fashion statement
I could make with a Swiffer Duster.
It sure beats cleaning with it.
And might be an improvement...

A fun post today for sure...I wonder what they trimmed on a hat? I love the feather duster hat!
I love historic buildings, especially in Philly!
i am glad you showed the photo of the hat at the end because i have never heard of trimming a hat and wondered what that meant. i can see now the feathers would need to be trimmed..
Well, that hat's certainly quirky!
Looking up at buildings like that make me dizzy... even if they're in a photo! Great shot, though. :)
Love historic buildings, especially ones that still tell the story of when they were in their heyday.
What a great sign: it took me a second to put the meaning right because I think of trimming as something done with a scissors!
First, these are gorgeous shots! Secondly, that hat is very reminiscent of a feather duster!
I don't think we'll ever see the queen sporting one of these!
I like that building and old sign. The feather duster"hat" is hilarious. :-)
Such a beautiful old building. A feather duster might improve on my hair some days....
They don't make buildings like that anymore - what a beauty! The feather duster hat is too funny!
Gosh love that old building and the lettering! A Swiffer dusting now that is an interesting idea.
