They did get integrated into them, but not for a couple of decades I think. Not being an expert I can't be sure exactly when that happened. Oh, and I love those 'photos of the Homburg hat.

I was familiar with Seven Keys to Baldpate (as a play mainly), but haven't looked much into Biggers' non-Chan writings.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.com
