Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Hat FactoryE may say, without exaggeration, that no hat factory con 'structed in recent years has been the cause of so much discussion, so much criticism, favorable or otherwise, as the one recently erected and now in Operation in the City of Danbury, known as the lee-mclachlan factory. It is natural that there should be much discussion regarding this plant. It is the most ambitious undertaking of the kind that has ever been attempted in Connecticut (although there are several larger factories in Massachu setts, New York and Pennsylvania), and it is the most modern factory making both soft and stiff hats in the United States.
