Rafferty & Leask,
The Chatham Street Hatters,
Desire to inform the public that they have invented a new style of HATS, to which they invite attention.
They insert in the lining of every hat a Daguerreotype likeness of each customer or any of their Friends, Free of Charge. They have built a Gallery at their Establishment,
