Inside were 2 hats. One does not have a label, and the other one with the label says "Flechats" Made in France and Alice May, Fifth Avenue, New York. These most likely were purchased by my Great Grandmother in the late 1800s or early 1900s.<br /><br />D.

Though people have forgotten this, the city used to be a major manufacturing center in its own right, along with being a force in culture (or media) and trade. The manufacturing sector has been almost totally eradicated (there may be a few illegal sweat shops here and there) from the city. But the finance and real estate sectors are now also in the process of collapse and are shedding jobs. Culturally the city has produced nothing of note, either in high culture or low culture, for almost twenty years. In other words, nothing is made in New York City that people want to buy.<br /><br />The economic strategy of the city government is to sell the city essentially as a place for people who had made their money elsewhere to come to visit and to live, which is problematic for a smaller town but absurd for a place whose population is eight million. At this point all you can do is wait around for the bottom to fall out.Ednoreply@blogger.com
