MOONEYE VALENTINE. '
Country and city retail merchants who had long
felt 'the want of a Jobbing house in this city en

much pleased when the announcement was made
that the well-known firm of Mooney & Valentine

Mooney," to come out from New York and engage
with her In the general mercantile business. Mr.
Mooney had been brought up In the Jobbing trade
In New York, but he at once familiarized himself
with the retalL-business, and speedily' became a
great favorite with those who dealt at their store.

The members of the new firm applied them
selves with vigor to the retail trade, but kept an
eye continually to the Jobbing business, the senior
member spending much of his time as a solicitor
on the road, an occupation In which he .was
signally successful. After proving their capabil
ity to succeed as retail merchants, the young gen
tlemen decided to close out .their retail stock at
cost ami take a down-town store for the purpose
of engaging exclusively in the Jobbing trade.

desirable goods, met already sale, and the Arm

dealing for their success.
Everything about the wholesale store carries
with It the idea of thrift, good Judgment, econ

Indeed, there Is nothing to misrepresent, as the

Institution is a credit to Portland, and Is of great
benefit to the entire State, Young persons, or
older ones, whose education has been limitedcan

' ; WOODS THE HATTER.
From the most remote periods, man appear to
have-made use of a hat. In some form to protect
the head from the cold in Winter, the burning
rays of the sun, or against blow in battle. It was
constructed in various shapes and of the greatest
variety of materials, according to the purpose' for
which It waar 'designed. -A a part of defensive
armor, the hat wa the helmetr which atill retain
Its primitive shajepas a protection from the
weather, It wa the cap, such as 1. seen In the
ancient figures representing the Goddess of Lib
erty. The ancient Greeks appear to have, em
ployed several other .kinds .of head-dress, the
names and appearance of which have been faith
fully preserved in their writings, as Well" as' en
graved upon antique gems, a,nd among the Romans
the cap .was regarded as a symbol of liberty,, The
first hatters in the Middle Age appeared in
Nuremberg In 13(H), and from that small begin
ning the manufacture and sale of thl necessary
article has grown to a great Industry. The hat
being the most conspicuous article of dress, and
surmounting all the- rest, in early times it wa
IrofuselV ornamented, and wa of ten, made to des
gnate the rank and character of -the wearer. In
later years, however, hats have been, made plain
and unostentatious, and their manufacture has -been
carried, to the highest perfection in the
United States. Soft hats, stiff hats, silk hats and
straw hats of all shaites and grades .are- man ufae
