Title

Thorne and Son interior 2 men

Description

William S. Thorne, the son in C. F. Thorne and Son, models a hat as does his "customer" Charles Claussen. Four other types of hat are displayed in their hands and on the counter. The poses and angle seem to suggest that this was intended as an advertisement for the wares.

Arrow Collars are on display along with the advertisement above them on the wall that helps to date the photo--Artist
Joseph Christian Leyendecker (1874 - 1951)
