A history: Danbury is called "Hat City" because it was once the center of the American hat industry, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The city became a major hub for hat production, with numerous factories operating there and producing a significant portion of the hats worn in the United States. Danbury's hat industry thrived, and by 1887, thirty factories were producing approximately 5 million hats per year. McLachlan formed the S.A.G. Hat Company in 1904, and in 1909 Mr. McLachlan and Frank H. Lee formed a partnership under the name of the Lee-McLachlan Co., which continued until 1914, when the partnership was dissolved and H. McLachlan & Co.,Inc. was incorporated. Flexible Morocco binding with gilt title, emblem. Housed in original box as issued. book.
