The History of Felt Hats and Hat Making

I'm posting this link because it reminds me of my father-in-law, the least macho man I ever met—and one of the toughest. How tough was he? Well, in the 1930s he traveled through the South as a labor organizer for the hatter's union. He stood down thugs with axe-handles—and, having seen him get angry a time or two, I feel sorry for those poor ol' peckerwoods.
Max told only one hatter's joke—heck, for all I know, there may be only one hatter's joke: Any two-bit magician can pull a rabbit out of a hat, but it takes a hatter to pull a hat out of a rabbit.
