Millinary Shops were located in
Center and other places in the County. The Dictionary defines millinary as
a place for women's hats and a milliner as one who makes or sells women's hats.
Of course hats for women are not a fashionable now as they were 60 or 70 years
ago, there was a time when your new attire was not complete unless you had a new
hat. A few of milliners were Mrs. G. A. King, Louie Mae Davis and Miss
Maude Garrett.
