ROGERS DID A HAT BUSINESS Ledger Belonging Toronto Man Placed In Archives of Mty, ,., People of Prince Rupert and in deed the whole' of northern and central British Columbia will be interested in a recent Townto de spatch which has been published in several cities, because the per son mentioned is the father of Joseph Rogers, who was a resident of Prince Rupert for a number of years and dealt in furs, throughout the district. Following is the TORONTO, Aug. 6. Pur chased in a Hamilton antique shop not long ago, the century-old account ledger of Joseph Rogers, a pioneer hatter and furrier of Toronto, has been added to the archives of the Toronto public library. Inscribed in faded ink on its pages are the names of many well-known people. "To one beaver hat two pounds, and "to one imitation hat one pound," or prices thereabout, are f-equent entries in the oid book, while hats or castor and borum are often referred to. Needless to say, beaver hats were men's fashionable top-hats of the day, manufactured from real beaver skin, slucked, dyed, ironed and stretched over a frame. These were the parents of tne modern siik nai, already appearing under the name "imitation" and Illustrated in the fluffy topper with which cartoonists adorn the head of Uncle Sam. Women's hats in straw, chip and lesrhorn were also sold by Mr. Rogers at prices ranging from 20 to 40 shillings, and the ledger shows that Mr. Hollowell, the lighthouse keeper at the island, paid 2 pounds 2. 6d. for "3 bonnets." Moccasins were bought by Roge's' customers at from 5 to 6 shillings a pair. But notwithstanding that furs were ridiculously cheap, fur coals were not in fashion and the women of early Toronto had to satisfy their love nf fur finery with the then fashionable muffs and tippets. In this connection we see that F. Fisher paid 5n shillings for a "lynx tin-net"-: Attornev-Oeneral Boulton 5 pounds for "2 marten tippets"; Geortre Ridout 5 pounds for a "muff and tippet." Interesting entries are also recorded in 1828, when "John Wilson the 4th' bought "one sea otter cap" for 45 shillings, and Dr. Deal a similar headpiece for 50 shillings, loday sea otter is priceless and suppos edly extinct.
