Mrs. Zahay 2:30-5:00 pm.
Clothing: Bonnets, traveling store
We used to have black bonnets with
straw-- a lady used to come
around selling them. Sometimes $1 or 1.25.
Traveling store: Was another lady from Hazleton that
come around with ladies & mens underwear. She came
in a car & sold factory goods. This was years ago.
A lady (Mrs. Malobetshi) used to make bonnets similar
to Mrs. Zoshak's bonnet, but with 2 slits unsewn on the neck area.
Mrs. Zahay got Mrs. Malobetshi's pattern & made bonnets to use
while huckleberry picking. These were made of printed cloth.
[There is a drawing of a bonnet similar to those seen in "Little House on the Prairie", with the opening for the face facing to the right. There is a flap at the bottom of the bonnet that would cover the neck. There is a slit from the top to bottom of the flap toward the left side, with the description "unsewn slit in Mrs. Malobetshi's bonnet style."]
