They were made of velvety materials, ribbons and straw. Mrs. Christina Drost, daughter of Mrs. Hintze, was taken into partnership and purchased the present location of the millinery store more than 50 years ago at 813 Jay street.
When Elizabeth Drost (later Mrs. Tauschek) became 15 years of age, she entered the firm and assisted in the buying. The business expanded in the "gay nineties" and at one time 10 or more young women were learning hat-making in the Tauschek establishment.
The deceased was a member of the Altar society of the St. Boniface congregation. The body may be viewed at the Pfeffer funeral home.
