Violet (Lewis) Teed worked at this Hat Box millinery shop for over 10 years. See what it was like at the windowless log cabin store in 1915 - notice the bear skin rug!

In those early days men and boys usually wore hats outdoors daily. Most people did. This is a store for gentlemen's hats and likely carried hats for rugged rural settings (Hints are the log structure and bearskin rug).
